Stock spoiler question

I had to get some body work done where removal of the spoiler was necessary. Well, I've noticed that it was left unattached at one of the back mount points. It is attached at both side points and one of the back points. I'd prefer to just fix it myself as the body shop did a poor job and avoiding them for anything else would be best.

Mt question is...are the studs that hold on the spoiler actually attached to the spoiler itself or are they just a threaded shaft that screws into the spoiler and then accepts a nut on the other end to provide a solid mount? I did look at the FSM, but it wasn't too clear on this point.

Thanks for any input.

It depends on what you mean by the back of the spoiler. Starting from the side point of the spoiler and going to the rear, the attachment is as follows. Screw into a plastic threading, then a threaded stud with a big plastic nut, then at the corner a plastic clip that goes right into the body, then working your way across the rear of the car to the "feet" , they are a stud that threads into the wing and is then held on by a nut .

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks, rymnryan.
You wouldn't happen to have any photos or drawings of this would you?
