As for the purpose - it clears the rear window quite well once you get up to speed after driving on dusty roads. Some people also mention that it might also help keep tailpipe fumes from coming in the rear window when it is down.

There's always the junkyard too. You can get compatible rivnuts on McMaster-Carr and install it pretty easily.

Yea thats what I was wondering about, since I got the call back that says they cant ship them from PR. Junkyard or Ebay lol.
The Rivnuts worry me a bit. Is there a certain depth I need to look for, or are the M5 Rivnuts a specific size and depth? (I know nothing about rivets)

You won't need anything special for the rivnuts (though, consider using stainless steel). The one for the thinnest surface will work. You will need to know the thread size and pitch of the mounting bolts (sorry, I don't have that).

I have an extra spoiler and mounting brackets if you need them! Only thing I don't have is the hardware.
I'll keep it in mind thanks!! Went to pick up a 97 tonight but it had a major electrical issue so the original owner is on his way with my check and I'll return his title and drive the 2.5 hrs back home
:lookout:
