Default Need to bolt down spoiler...

I installed my 2 12" 300W subs today and noticed they shake the trunk really REALLY hard
Problem is, I'm afraid my spoiler in the back will vibrate off the trunk because they only hold by 4 "gravity clips" (the wing holds down by gravity...i find that dumb). Has anyone bolted it down somehow? Any advice?

The spoiler should have clamps that go around the endge of the trunk to hold it down.

I have 3 of the 4 brackets + tape and it really doesnt hold well. I noticed the spoiler doesnt actually sit well on the trunk, its kind of at an angle so the tape doesnt stick. Im not sure if its the original wing or if its from an older year or an R wing...no idea. Anyone know where I can get a new set of clips?
