Default Anyone know the size of bolts on spoilers?

Hey, everyone, I'm back after a while. Looks like someone tried to rip off the spoiler from my car and the two bolts on the passenger side broke. Im going to remove the spoiler tomorrow and replace the bolts but I don't know the size of the bolts. Does anyone here know? I just know that the washer is removed with a 10 mm socket, but no luck finding the size of the screws.

Bolts? Most spoilers have studs that fit into the pre-drilled locations on the rear deck.

And there is 12mm metric nuts holding them snug.

If someone tried to forcibly remove the spoiler they probably popped the studs off the spoiler leaving empty holes on the spoiler. You would need to epoxy set new studs on the Spoiler or find where the OEM ones fell into the trunk and reseat them. Let the epoxy set, harden and then lock that sucker back down.

While you're at it... set a few exacto blades back into where you think this jerk grabbed the spoiler to yank up on it. That way if you happen to park in the same place and that idiot makes an attempt again...he'll need to stitch his fingers back on.

Sounds like a fun idea. Just don't take your car to a hand wash with that booby trap.
