Aftermarket spoiler, threaded hole goofed up - how to fix?

Hey guys -

I have an RE Amemiya spoiler for my project car, and 2 of the mounting holes in the spoiler are goofed up. One tore loose from the fiberglass and just spins, the other has a rusted out bolt broken off in it.

Any recommendations of a quality way to fix the problem?

Dale

you can either make a new hole and put a threaded rivet, but if you are using it to match the stock hole try taking the old piece of the wing and put in a threaded rivet in there.

Is threaded rivet the same as helicoil? If not I would look in to helicoiling.. They make them in about everysize... Its the onlything that saved my exhaust bolts
