Friends: 0 |  Rear spoiler, is it glued on? While taking some pictures today I noticed my rear spoiler moves quite a bit, it feels like it is attached with double sided tape. I searched for any issues on here, but I did not find any dedicated to this issue. Anyone else have an issue or should I go see the dealer? |

Friends: 0 | Re: Rear spoiler, is it glued on? Mine is relatively tight. At most there's 1mm of play at the back edge. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Rear spoiler, is it glued on? I noticed the same thing. Definitely made me think it had more play than it should have. Glad at least to hear it's not just my car... |

Friends: 0 | Re: Rear spoiler, is it glued on? It's active aerodynamics. When you drive faster, the spoiler is pushed down by the downforce to reduce drag.... just kidding. Mine has some give to it also. Afraid that I might break it one of these days when I'm polishing it. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Rear spoiler, is it glued on? Both of my 2010 Prius's (IV and V) have the same play to it, yes it does feel weak and a click sound (or something, when moved enough). So I think they are all like this. Don |
