Paint rub warning 2014 SS
I spent the afternoon installing a new spoiler on my car. When I removed the original spoiler, I noticed two places where it had rubbed off the paint on the rear deck lid. Both places were about the size of a quarter and the paint was totally gone. I don't know if the lid is aluminum or steel. If I hadn't found it, I am sure it would have led to corrosion at some point in the future.
Before I installed the new spoiler, I repaired both places with touch up paint. The new spoiler totally covers the damaged area. I just thought I would pass this along. Anyone who owns an SS should probably check theirs out. Mine was worn down to bare metal.
Here is a photo taken after I finished the install. The worn spots were under the circled area on both sides. I apologize for not taking any photos of the damage. I didn't think about the forum until I was finished.
