Spoiler installed - Now I have leaks

My Audi dealership installed a spoiler on my (2000) TT a few weeks ago, and I opened the lid of my trunk for the first time yesterday. The lid was completely filled with water (which poured out into my rear seats and cd changer). I contacted the dealership yesterday about the situation, and asked for the situation to be rectified asap. So far they have not been very accomadating. Anyone else have issues like this after installing a spoiler? What sort of (potential)problems should I be concerned about with this leakage issue (cd changer, tail lights, etc.). Thanks alot for any tips/info.

Make them fix it ASAP. Contact AoA if necessary

Sounds like you're dealing with the typical dealership BS that Audi is notorious for.

Since it's going to be asked...... they replace your front control arms too?

Well the reason is you need to drill 6 holes in the deck..>

From the factory, the spoiler is sealed with a vey tenacious glue. Sounds like they missed a step..

I didn't plan on having the spoiler installed. I went in one day for a service, and they mentioned the spoiler being added as a recall type issue (potential flipping at high speeds is what they said).
