almost a year now no problems at all... X fingers make sure you use hot gun when you install it by the 3M tapes to make them extra storng...

I just used alittle bit of silicone around the screw. Thats it. I do not think you need to use anything.
I installed a rear oem spoiler on my moms Toyota Highlander 5+ years ago. I didnt use any rust proof materials and its fine even today.
You are in CA I wouldnt worry about rust.

stock tape that came on spoiler and a little extra 3m tape. i've had the car to 140mph, in the freezing cold , and texas heat. No problems. There is no need to drill into your car.

Is there a DIY on how to do the install without drilling anywhere? Haven't been able to locate one...

i don't think you should drill it because what if you want something down the road later on? just use the tape method imo

actually we were lying. It's a cruel joke we like to play on all the n00bs. Your spoiler is going to go flying off next time you hit 75mph.
