   im aware that theres a citroen saxo spoiler that is fixed through the glass? mk2 i believe, how easy is it to attach these? and drill through the glass? as i do not have the holes that are needed to fit it, anybody have any ideas as to how i could do this?

   New boot lid bonding to the glass hardly ever works. Other option is to fit a mk1 spoiler as they bold or bolt to the metal and not the glass.

   Go for the mk1 spoiler then mate you only have to bond it on with Tiger seal and hold it in place with tape until the Tiger seal cures.

   Try bond the mk2 ones to the glass then mate but I have never seen it happen with a happy ending.

    I'm about to get my first spoiler, you sure Tiger Seal works? Heard that it's not as reliable as securing it the ol' fashioned way with nuts and bolts

    Where ever you heard that is talking bull.
    
    Most new cars now use polyurethane sealer to hold on panels and the glass its strong as any nut an bolt if not stronger due to the larger contact surface.
    Also 9 times out of 10 the spoiler will break quicker than the spoiler.

    i've heard of people fitting complete vt kits with tigerseal (no clips or anything :o) tbh, it'll hold, i just know id get it uneven, or have the resin go everywhere if i did it!
