Ok to fill OEM Aftermarket spoiler with expanding foam?

The thing is that my spoiler rattles like a mo fo and i cant remove permanently because of the holes. I plan of buying some fat mat after christmas but don't know if this would be sufficient enough to stop he rattles inside the spoiler for I thing the wire from the brake light is causing all the commotion.

Will I be safe or will i even help if i do this?

thanks in advance

it should be allright... you could also just stuff some foam or cotton ***** in for the same effect..if you go with expanding foam make absolutely certan you buy the minimal expanding type...

Try to goto a local stero shop and see if they have 2 part foam. I've used the stuff in the can before in a car and it has a tendancy to bulge out things while expanding. The 2 part foam normally will just follow a contour, expand and stop.

Thanks for the suggestions

Especially mohak, I lmost bought some maximum expanding foam, but it looks like I'll be buying the minimal expanding stuff.

thanks

Touch and Foam has a new kind out that is for windows and doors that does not expand at all. The foam is white in color and should be avalible at any hardware store.
