Help, I missed this when I took delivery

It stinks, but just chalk this up to the first ding on a new car - it happens to everyone - it might be the first but will not be the last. I do not know if I would worry about it - just keep an eye on it and as long as it does not grow I would just leave it alone.

 

You won't need a jack or any tools applying the LOCKTITE REPAIR PUTTY to the back side of the spoiler crack. Put on rubber painting gloves. You simply nead the soft epoxy putty in your fingers to a soft, like bubble gum in order to apply. Clean the back side of the spoiler and then reach underneath and apply on the back side of the crack about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick and aprox 1/2 inch wide the full length of the crack. The putty starts to set up in about 5 minutes and is full hard in about 1/2 hr. Watch that the bond holds the crack together evenly and close during the hardening process. Its a lot like applying a wad of bubble gum while its semi soft. I repaired my scooter fender crack 4 yrs ago and its as strong as the day I repaired it. If you could chew a big wad of bubble gum and apply it you can reach under and do the same with this repair putty. Good Luck

 

Reasonably sure no one is reading this any further, BUT, FIRST THING to do is to drill a small hole at end of the crack, to keep it from getting any larger! Then, do the epoxy fill, sand and touch up!

 

or the dealership put it on a lift and when they brought it down they hit something.

 

You drill the hole at the top of the crack, right where the crack ends. But make it a small hole. It's to relieve the stress where the crack ends, plus it gives you a small area for the epoxy to fill.

The thing I don't think much is that some people have told you to squeeze the crack together (that can be good advice in some situations, but I think the crack is too small to do this). I'm not in favor of that as the crack will want to re-open up and the cracked area might now be considered the weak point. It looks like the crack is pretty small, so I'd just have the epoxy fill the crack as it is (looks like it's about 1/16th of an inch or even smaller). Once done, sand it and apply some touch up paint.

Note that the liquid expoxy might not work very well as it can get everywhere. The poster who recommended that bubble gum-like epoxy might have the best idea. If you get real excited about doing this, you can practice on using fiberglass, kitty hair, etc. And when you become experienced using that stuff, I'll come over with my car and let you fix it.
