Spinning Spoiler mount studs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone have a good fix for spinning spoiler studs.?
I got a great deal on a Havoc spoiler, but some of the studs just spin when I try to tighten it down.
I cannot get a good feel for the way it is going to look if I cant bolt it down solid.
I thought of using carriage bolts and hope that the square shank digs in to the urethane and does not make the hole too big to fix.
Or just pull the studs and reinsert them with a bunch of epoxy on them to hope and hold them...
I am sure someone has had this issue already and has fixed it.
Please advise, Thank you

Pull the studs and use 2 part epoxy, don't get epoxy on the threads and it will work just fine. My experience has been the screw into the stud inserts were over tightened and breaking the studs loose.

Yup or something like JB Weld will do too.
