ZRE152R LEVIN SX ROOF SPOILER HELP !

[Kreezy*]

Hey Guys ,
So today was not a good day for me :(,

Earlier today i went to a 7-11 self service car wash at condell park,
while my car was getting washed my roof spoiler snapped off my car ,
lucky it wasent that bad the only problem is that the pins that hold down the spoiler on the car have all snapped off the spoiler and currentley still stuck on the car and the wiring for the LED brake lights have come off aswell :(

so after all the drama with my car i asked the manager of the shop if they can cover the damage of the car and he was just being a massive C*nt .

so i just wanted to know if you guys would know ,
will this be an easy fix ?
will i have to buy a new spoiler ? (if i do im currently looking for a BLACK sx spoiler or and ascent)

Thanks Guys .

Sorry to here that , must be a powerfull carwash to break it off, took photos of the car wash itself

You must went into a dry through car wash, did you keep your recipet, as proof

You must ring your insurance company and tell them what happen and maybe they will sort it out with them

did they wash it while you sat there and looked? or did you self jet washed it? if you did it urself, ur pretty much fooked. if they did it, stick a massive pole up their ass (or asses if they have more holes than one) and shaft them to the insurance company.

there is NO WAY IN HELL that would just snap off like that. 3 bolts and nuts plus double sided tape you would have stripped off the paint first before snapping those bolts.

No guarantees, but you'll probably find that the auto-wash will have a disclaimer waiving any claims to damage caused by using it, unless the damage was caused by the unit malfunctioning (like a brush smashing into your windscreen etc)

So what do we learn? ALWAYS wash your car yourself, by hand :) Probably this was some lag in sensor, which just didn't recognize the shape of the car so it forced the brush down with full force and the obstacle-detection cut-off did not engage. So it is their responsibility to fix this, contact your insurance company.
