Spoiler vibe question

Looking for ideas with this one.
03 CL with the factory spoiler.....dynomatted the trunk lid so much you'll get a concussion if it falls on your head so the trunk itself isn't vibrating, it's the middle section of the spoiler. I haven't heard of anyone ever comment on this. I like the spoiler so I'm not removing it and the mounting bolts are secure so it's not the spoiler itself. I was thinking of modding some kind of bracket to mount in the middle but I want it color matched.

The sub isn't crank up loud, matter of fact the dynomat works well.
Any suggestions

I did this with my 1st gen cl, not sure if it'll help you or not. I dynamatted my trunk lid and had the same problem with my stock wing(it actually cracked from bass) I unbolted it, fixed the crack with bondo, then made sure the wires were clear and filled the middle mount of the wing with dynamat foam, worked well for me

I need to find out if the middle is hollow, drilling a hole and filling it with foam might work. Thanks......I didn't think of that

I've heard of people stuffing poly fill into the spoiler with a coat hanger. And yes, it is hollow.

Mine vibrates a little too, but its the bake light itself that is vibrating against the spoiler. So maybe check if thats the case for you. If I squeeze the brake light hard against the spoiler, the vibrating stops. I was thinking of taking the light out and putting something (some kind of thin padding) between the light and the spoiler.

Thanks for all the advice.
It sounds more professional without the outside rattles
