The back spoiler that is attached to the roof and rests on the back glass seems awfully loose. I noticed this while drying off the glass after a car wash. Anyone else notice this?
Rear spoiler seems loose on my 250

I noticed it as well on my LC trim.

Thanks! I'm not sure if this is an engineering design or not. Maybe tightening is a bad idea. Going to talk to my local tomorrow although I doubt they know anything about it. They do have an FE on the floor so I'll go see if it is loose.

Toyota didn’t seem too concerned. The FE on the showroom floor had the same issue. I guess I can take off the liftgate door card and see if the bolts can be tightened. OR leave it alone. Things to ponder.
Question related to this, I've seen that some of the international models do not have a rear spoiler and I rather prefer the cleaner look of a slick top hatch trim, if anyone takes their spoiler off, can you take some pictures of the top hatch area to see if it could be converted to no spoiler?
I noticed the slight wiggle on the spoiler too and had time, so I popped off the cover and checked the two screws and 6 bolts. All tightened up correctly, so no issues I can see. I feel good about the way this was put together. Hope the pictures help.

Also helps keep the rear tires grounded at speeds of 155 mph or more.
Dude… you owe me a keyboard…

Sorry 'bout that.
Yes mine is the same
mine also has a little play in it. It must be by design 2026

Kind of a safety thing (at least for the glass) IMO, Heavy rigid mounted anything on moveable glass will result in a broken piece of glass!
The "flimsy" ABS Spoiler is nothing more than an air deflector to help keep dust from collecting on the rear glass. As a deflector it doesn't require "Hard mounts".
If you've ever driven a brick without a deflector on dirt roads, you know I speak the truth!
