Celica Forums General Discussion General stock spoiler sucks

So I have a JL Audio 12W7 running off of a JL 1000/1. Well my problem is the nuts that hold the spoiler down always loosen and fall off creating an annoying rattle. It would have been nice if they didnt do that. But other then that there are no other rattles. So thats great. But the spoiler keeps giving me problems. But what other systems are people running on here?

my spoiler is just fine... no noise no rattle






but i dont have huge subs or anything

you and I are pushing the same setup... and I've had mine up pretty loud - not a single problem here

Next time you are in, messing with your spoiler nuts - add a second nut to the combination... two nuts will make its more difficult for it to come loose... or just simply add a dab of RUBBER CAULK to the bolt after the nut is in place (people with dirt minds, don't give me that evil eye, you know exactly what I'm talking about)

and the stock spoiler doesn't suck, so there!

any spoiler you add-on it's going to have some rattle. if you can't stand it anymore, take it off...

I Dynamated my trunk...no rattles

uhhh locktite???

uhh... my STOCK one didn't, and neither does my aftermarket KAMINARI spoiler

my previous history of being a DJ (loud music 6 hours every night for 8 years straight), has left me with the urge to BOOST the sound way up high

no rattles still...

I would get rattles from my blitz bumper though - then I added a second nut to the screw (as posted above) and never had any problems since

My spoiler on the right bass notes, flaps like a bird. I'm running 2 Infiniti 12's. But it still doesn't rattle.

im running 2 10's Fosgate 3210's and i got no raddles here!

my damn spoiler girates like a mutha when i have a lil john beat playing

i am also running to 12 infinitys but i do have a ratel on the rear door handle other then that its perfect

The solution to fix the rattle on your rear door handle is rather simple.

All that is needed is a single FELT-FOOT... the thing that has sticky on one side and felt on the other side - they're usually stuck under items that sit on a coffee table so they wont damage the surface when the items are slid around... look under your lap-top or calculator and you'll find "rubber feet"... this is basically the same thing except its thinner and often green.

they can be purchased in a box of 24 pieces from your local store (Ralph's, Vons, Albertsons, Thrifty, Sav-on, Wallgreens, HomeDepot, OSH...etc) for about $1.99

take one of these little round "feet" and place it between your trunk and the handle (upon closer inspection, the install location will be obvious)

This solution also works great for the other door handles and to be used on your license plate frame if that rattles too

these can be stacked if you need to use more than one

hell yea...Lil Jon... Okay!!!

whatever you do, dont over-tighten the nuts on the spoiler.
i did on one of the nuts and the entire bolt-thingy along with the nut broke off.

i got two 12" elemental design A's and my whole car can rattle if it's cranked pretty high. my main prob. is the hatch handle.

take some power tools to the spoiler...

the stock spoiler doesnt suck

well have anyone of you guys ran comp. I ran one this summer and it was a MECA comp and I hit a 144 off of my single 12.

were you wingless before and added the stock spoiler on? Mabye a previous owner mess around with the wing or something.

you could always get lock nuts too... or a washer.

I never touched the stock spoiler intill I had to but the nut back on and tighten the rest.

use some locktite or some super glue along with 2 nuts... its almost gauranteed not to loosen on you.

What i'd like to see is some one to put Kicker's Solo X in their celi... 10000watts peak!!!

yea my whole spoiler is loose now because of my subs. it doesn't rattle but you can move it up and down. goin to have to fix that
