MX / EX screws for spoiler

[oliver]

Hi there! I have been looking around but havent found any useful resource yet, straight forward:

2 of the 4 screws holding the spoiler went missing while driving so now I am looking for new ones including the black spacers.
The screws also need the black spacers, however, ordering them from Stark directly costs me 15 € in shipping alone, while the screws are just 2 €. Which screws are used here? Any alternative to the Stark store? I would appreciate any helpful idea. Shipping has to be to Switzerland or Germany.



Thanks in advance

Any shipping would cost you at least 10-15€, right? Try a local hardware store to save on shipping.

Or order an Organic Cotton Hoodie from Stark for just $99 and get your 2 bolts shipped for free. Use Loctite on those bolts so you don't lose them.

Measure your screws very carefully including the thread. Then go to the McMaster-Carr website and begin looking at screws. I am certain they will have your screws, but it may take quite a bit of looking through their selection. You can also buy spacers from them.

Hmmm didn't those have blue loctite on them? Mine do, but I guess blue wears off quickly if you use the fasteners a lot.

I just bought a few replacements, and believe I used M6-14 machine screws. I bought M6-12, and a another longer one because I wasn't certain of the length.

Be careful not to overtorque these screws, I think the manual is incorrect! When it says side spoiler 20/30 N*m.

My lower screw threaded insert disengaged from the plastic and had to destroy the plastic and replace. I don't think I overtorqued it, but this last time I went to 8N*m as a precaution.
