Yes, i can see it has been filled too.

The inner radius is tighter in the filled area.(post #53 pic 2)

pic 3 you can see the area is wrong also.

Wouldn't Brad be able to tell by the VIN and other indicators whether this car came equipped w rear wiper?

Original number was 928 512 071 00.
Nice find Brad.

Oh good lord!!!
I have been practicing on filling the rear spoiler. This was the first attempt. Lots of R&D has been done and I think the 2nd one will be perfect.
This was a first attempt and it looks ok but yes you can see the outline of the fill in spot. I ordered another batch of material and will try the second one this weekend. Pretty sure I can get it flawless with no seam.

Brad you did an excellent job.

It would never be noticed by anyone.

Are you going to share your method or sell these. (core supplied system)

Nice job Brad. +1 on the recipe share if comfortable doing so.

I am constantly amazed by the keen eyes of some on here. I kept looking and zooming and am only somewhat convinced I can see any traces of your mod.

I have no intention of selling these and after it looks right I will share the process I used. I can tell you that it is about $75 in material to fill in the hole. I used three different rubber compunds till I found the one that best fits the Shore Hardness. I will try and have it complete by our next group meeting and get their buy in.
