When I removed my spoiler and various rear body kit parts the nuts had sticky gaskets on them. I see lmr includes them in their hardware kits labeled as mastic washers. Are these necessary or can I just reinstall my old hardware without them?
I used “butyl tape” when I replaced my rear spoiler to form a seal.
Inexpensive, available at local home stores, and forms a nice seal without hardening.

I’d be really reluctant to install the spoiler without them, but the butyl rubber tape seems like a good alternative. The hatch on my ‘86 developed rust from inside, and my assumption is that water got there through the spoiler mounting holes. I looked at a lot of hatches to replace mine, and they all had the same problem.
