Fiberglass? uhhhh.... That's not an OEM style spoiler. These were flexible
plastic. If yours is fiberglass, it must be some aftermarket style one which
probably mounts differently. For the original style spoiler, vendors sell
the "proper" wide washer sheet metal screws. You have to drill holes in the
sheet metal lip to install it. If you are anal, go look at a 66-69 to make
sure you have the hole location correct.
By the way, if you in fact have a fiberglass one (places indeed made/make
them), you are going to have to be really careful with curbs /
soon-to-be-roadkill / etc. The fiberglass is pretty fragile. The OEM style
ones are much more flexible.
