Conv. Rear spoiler mtg studs
Has anyone found a permanent method of attaching the 4 mtg studs to the underside of the center spoiler? I have tried all kinds of epoxy and JB Weld. Nothing lasts, UGH !!! Please help

Have you tried Bondo, or possibly epoxy Fiberglas resin? You will have to clean the surface and make sure its rough.
Good luck.

Fiberglass in its native state is simply Cloth, it has no rigitiy whatsoever, what makes it rigid is the Resins that create a hard plastic like material. The Resin without the fiberglass cloth is not as structurally strong, and the cloth by itself is as stated before like a washcloth. THe two together is what gives it strength.
Matter of fact, I believe the resins used for Fiberglass, Grraphite etc are basically the same, there are Polyester resins which are very inferior, they are cheep but they do not hold their form well, I find that most aftermarket Fiberglass pieces are made from this. The better stuff is the Epoxy resins, they are much better for holding shape etc...
