Default Srt 4 Spoiler install please help!!

I just Bought a 2005 dodge srt 4 used of course, from a dealer but the spoiler was removed and plugs were put in the holes where it used to be. I have no screws or nothing but the spoiler they gave me with car. How should I go about installing it again like type of screws or what goes on the trunk lid to keep it water tight or put some kind of 3m double sided tape or silicone please help. I have no idea's

Unless you drive above 100 mph, the spoiler serves no real purpose. In addition, the portion of your view to the rear that it blocks is always the portion where the cop car is pacing your speed.

I love my spoiler, I don't think it restricts the view out of the rear of the car at all, but then again I'm used to it. The dealership should sell gaskets for it, they are almost like a double sided tape thickness, and adhere to the bottom of the spoiler. You then just need to remove the plugs and put the spoiler onto the trunk. After doing so use four nuts to attach it to the trunk. The factory nuts are 10mm but I am unsure of their thread pitch.

wtf?? 80 bucks is insane. and i agree with dusty on the height the spoiler sits at. maybe its my height and driving position that has something to do with it too? but it blocks out the front end of the car behind me quite well. i have had it on and off... i like having it off but keep it on the car (plus the wife likes the spoiler on it). all it takes is use of a 10mm socket x4 to take it off or put it back on though.
perhaps you can find something similar at autozone to put it on with. maybe just some thin rubber to act as a gasket and cut to fit?
