Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Just wondering if im the only one gets this Everytime I wash the car I get dribble from the sides of my N1 Nismo Spoiler base going down my bumper and then pooling under my lights... Ive had my rear bumper re-sprayed recently as the paintwork started to deteriorate because of the sitting water that gathers. I don't want this to happen again but no matter what I do I cant seem to stop the dribble. When I wash the car I open the boot up and give it a right good dry but the dribble comes back ... Ive noticed the spoiler sits on a spongey type base which I think is soaking up the water ?? Anyone suffer with this or is it just me ???? Quote
Harman350z Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I get it tooo!! a little annoying after a good clean but something ill just have to live with unless i decide to silicone up the joint.. Quote
350 Russ Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I do aswell, usually after I've washed and dried I open the boot for a few minutes then dry that up and usually seems to work a treat Quote
Neilp Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 are you talking about dribble coming from the edges that meet the boot or the actual base? simple solution open the boot a few time and shut and then dry the car and polish Quote
GT4 Zed Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I do aswell, usually after I've washed and dried I open the boot for a few minutes then dry that up and usually seems to work a treat Do the same too Quote
Chris`I Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 If it makes you feel better, my OEM 370z spoiler seems to dribble too Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 If it makes you feel better, my OEM 370z spoiler seems to dribble too Not really... but thanks anyway No ideas how to eradicate the problem then ? Some sort of sealant etc ??? Quote
kevlo Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 not sure how to solve the dribble but what about prevention. if you give the area where the water is sitting a couple of coats of a good wax (i recommend collinite) then the water wont be sitting on the paint. it should hopefully run straight off if not then it will bead ontop of the wax away from your paint!

SwanageDave Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Mines factory fitted and i still get it, it really pisses me off as i have tried all sorts of tricks to stop it even having the missus stand there with a sponge Quote
Harman350z Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 The only way i see to stop it would be to fill the joint.. though its not something id like to do. Quote
