it is not replaceable. just take a razor and trim it. make sure the mounting bolts are tight. they loosen up over time and cause this.

But wouldn't watter start to leak if i do this?
and yeah actually i think the reason why the rubber has started to stick out is because i tighten the bolts up recently, i guess i tighten them too much??...

Would it be a bad idea to just take the spoiler out and re install it?
would it come right off by just loosing the bolts? sorry for the questions i have never done this

Thanks

no water will not leak in... there is a lot of that sealer. the spoiler is stuck on with that double sided tape that may crack your spoiler when you try to take it off.

your best off just trimming it and tucking it back in unless you want to shell out a crapload of money for a new spoiler.

if honda had a adheasive kit for it i would try and take a hairdryer and pull it apart but they dont. they have generic 2 sided tape (its basically 3M 2 sided tape) but it is near impossiable to line it back up the way it was at the factory
