Debris in rear deck lid.
Wondering if anyone has experience with vacuuming out the rear deck lid. Some debris fell in there when my spoiler got installed, and I can hear little pieces when I open the trunk. I was going to try to vacuum it out, but the holes are rather small. I thought of rigging a vacuum hose with some duct tape and fuel line or other small rubber hose to reach inside. ?
|
how is the spoiler attached to the vehicle?
|
It's the optional factory spoiler, bolted on. I think it's just pieces from where they drilled that fell down and now are stuck.
|
Take if off and go fishing. Grab a magnet and side it on the underside (if you think they are metal pieces) up to the hole and pull it out.

Oh sorry, I see the confusion now, I meant debris inside the trunk lid (I think), not under the spoiler, lol. I will try the magnet trick and if that doesn't work my vacuum idea.
|
I also hear the debris when I open the trunk and I have the factory spoiler too. I haven't done anything about it though... I am interested in seeing if there any quick fixes for this.
|
Magnet should work as it should simply be from drilling the holes.
|
I had this happen when I installed my spoiler. If it's little metal flakes, my body shop used an air gun to blow then out and taped the holes and injected glue into it.
|
I have debris in it too when I recently installed an oem brz spoiler on my frs. I tend to not give a shit because I'm not going to be opening my trunk 24/7 and listening to that crap.
|
I injected glue when in the open position. After F'ing around for ages with magnets.
|
Someone has a fix for this.
Attach double sided tape onto the end of a piece of thick wire and fish around. If the debris is not steel , magnets won't work at all , and because the boot lid is steel , magnets won't work very well anyway. |
Fixed it. Did the tube attached to a vacuum thing. I think it just dislodged whatever it was, saw something fall out, rattle gone.
