Evo 8 Wing Gap

I've looked, and if there is somewhere I missed a forum please point me in that direction. I just installed an Evo 8 Wing on the ralliart and there is a small gap even after tightening the bolts on the wing. Is there like a gasket of some sort that i can add to seal this gap so no water gets it? or is it fine just as is? thank you

I had that issue. For the life of me I searched and could not find firm thin rubbery gasket material that suited the fix. Ended up using that 3M double-sided body tape (you can buy it at Walmart), which worked okay. Later I ordered that stock rubber gasket from the dealer that goes under the stock wing end pieces and the trunk, in case i want to put the original wing back on - for only a few dollars! Maybe you should just order those and use'em with the evo wing.

And do not tighten the trunk/wing screws too much or the wing pieces will split at the bottom near the screws!

Probably the best thing to do is order the evo gaskets from the dealer - I imagine they'll be under $10.
