Darren, what are you/your body shop using to ā€œpatch upā€ and re-enforce the cracks? I havenā€™t had any issues with my Hiro wing, and itā€™s been been almost two years now. Iā€™ve heard some are more fragile than others, like any other limited supply product made from fiberglass. Maybe since you bolted it down, the flex of your trunk/hatch affected the weakest area of the wing? Running mounting clips, Iā€™ve experienced no issues. Was the crack along the backside of the blade and/or around the edge where it turns downwards?

176

they body shop have repaired it and reinforced itā€¦but i think i now what the problem is?
where i made the holes in my trunk to mount the HIRO is a bit off so i have to slightly pull the spoiler to line the 4 holes up, and so im thinking that strain is causing the crack :frowning:
before i gave it back to the body shop i made the bolt holes into oval shapes as it gives me a few mm more adjustment and when i tried the HIRO afterwards i could bolt it down without having to pull it slightly :slight_smile:
so hopefully no more cracks!
heres a pic where it cracks

177

Put a ā€œX millimetersā€ gasket between the spoiler mounting spot and the trunk so it can absorb flex better.

178

That engine bay is prettttty

179

1 word! Yummy!!! :up: so clean man. I love this thingā€¦

180

Whats the brand of the side skirts and where did you get that little lip (spoiler) on the hatch.
