Thanks so much for your reply. I am at the crossroads here, as I was going to attempt the epoxy bit, to see if it would work. Do you remember what type/brand of epoxy you used? I can't get a handle on the composite material the spoiler is made of, so maybe that may have been a problem, but I don't know. However, if epoxy just doesn't work, it is pointless to waste the time. When you took the plastic off the back of the inside of the lid, I assume you had to remove the lower and larger half first and then pull off the plastic that actually covers the bolts etc., of the spoiler? Did you wind up busting some of the plastic tabs in trying to remove these liners? Thanks again for all your help. Jim

Sorry, I don't remember the name of the epoxy, but I do remember the epoxy failed while I was reinstalling the spoiler. I was glad it happened at that time rather than while I was driving. The thought of having the spoiler fly off and damaging another car or person did not make me feel warm and fuzzy!! Since I did not know how to find out the composition of the spoiler's plastic, I decided to save time and worry and purchase a new spoiler. No problem with the plastic tabs, except for them flying around while removing the liners and keeping them in place reinstalling the liners.
Hope this helps,
Bioman

Mine is also chirping. it's a 2007 and it started during our trip to the Rockies. we were between 8-12,000 ft. it mostly occurs when pushing the Park button. Now, 2 months later, my Maintenance light is on...IDK what the deal is, but I'm getting it checked out. I've noticed others posting about it happening with elevation change.
