Its the same stuff they bond windscreens in with, it sets like solid rubber & sticks like sh!t to a blanket.

just make sure both mating surfaces are really clean & oil/wax free before applying the sealant.

if there are still short bolt stubs, why not use them to locate the spoiler when fixing it on..

also use electrical tape to hold it on place till the sealant cures.

Just make sure it is prepped & painted well as the paint is more likely to come off than the bonding lol
