If its a true fit OEM spoiler you will have 2 screws holes. Drill out the hatch after you've measured and marked the holes and fasten spoiler to hatch with screws, after applying double sided tape. Dont forget to put some type of primer or rust inhibitor to holes.

+1, that **** is strong. will have zero problems keeping that small spoiler on the hatch under all conditions. taking it off on the other will be a biatch.

Like Cheston said if you use 3M tape it'll be fine.
If it can hold my Blitz then it can hold the OEM spoiler.
