Hawks used to sell some, but I could not find them on their website now. I believe a lot of people make their own by cutting up a sheet of gasket material that you can find at places like autozone. The stock gaskets under my high-rise spoiler were in a million pieces.

my 91 had deteriorated ones too...when I painted the car I just used some rtv around all the bolt holes..sealed it up nice..no need for gaskets.

Re: Seals for high rise spoiler?
I have the short wing but the mounting process is the same. I did not want the wing resting on my new paint so I used a small nylon washer on each bolt just enough to raise it off of the deck just a tiny bit. The only thing making actual contact is the washer. No silicone used but it’s not a bad idea.

Re: Seals for high rise spoiler?
I went to a hardware store that had the pull out drawers with nylon washers and found them with a hole that the mounting bolt just slipped through and with a diameter large enough to cover the hole in the deck. You might want to buy enough to stack them if you have to. Just watch closely while tightening the nut as the wing will start to pull down as you do. Stop it just before it hits the deck. This can be a time consuming, tedious procedure so go slow and careful with it. If I look closely with my head flush with deck I can shine a flashlight from the other side and see a very, very small crack of light shining through.

Anyone have a set of used ones they want to sell? I would like to make a set and use the old ones for a template.
