You may be slamming the trunk too hard and it’s putting pressure on that edge. Are you getting any condensation inside the lightbar?

When I bought my 2017 Si used with 20k miles on it, the light bar was cracked on the passenger side and was letting water in. It shorted out the right side LED bulb as well, which is the only reason I noticed it.

Dealership replaced it the day after I bought the car, but that’s because they sold it to me that way.

Yours may be bolted on there too tight, idk. It’s a very fragile piece.

No condensation I don’t close my trunk hard but it does open fast when I use the key fob

Opens fast? your trunk flings open when you press the button?

My trunk just unlocks and barely opens at all. Although, you don't have the weight of the spoiler :hmm:
