 people I know slam the trunk shut using the top lip, and that's exactly
 where the spoiler is on our cars. On my car the trunk takes some effort to
 close (how many other cars do you know of that use two hydraulic struts with
 the hinge?), and occasionally a person will just slam the lid down by
 gripping the spoiler, drastically shortening it's useful (or should I say
 *not* useful) life. What I like to use is the little ledge at the bottom of
 the license plate, and I try to educate everyone I know to use that area
 instead of the spoiler.
 
 If you've been closing the trunk lid using the spoiler method this whole
 time, SHAME!
