Do you know where to buy replacements for them? They just do not hold up my rear hatch with the rear wing installed

Is it a direct switch or do I need to do some modifications?

when you go to the store they will have a catalog, it may specify with or without spoiler, if there is no choice then what they list will work fine.

You didnt go confusing the numb nut at the store by telling him you had a

RX-7 and bolted a spoiler on it and so on did you? He probably got cross eyed and gave the generic answer "its a dealer part"
