Rear Spoiler Damage

:( Sucks, my wife was heading out and backed the jeep up as the garage was opening. The lip at the bottom snagged the rear spoiler above the hatch and loosened the spoiler and luckily only pulled the garage door off the track.

The damage is not too noticeable, but I see everything and it stands out big time to me. I'm thinking it can be buffed out since it doesn't look like the scraps are deep, but what kind of trouble am I looking at to pull this off and putting it back on? No way I'm going through the insurance if the repairs are manageable, but who knows with these vehicles.

Anyone else have something like this happen and has anyone else had to remove the spoiler? I'll try and post some pictures later today.

Don't say it may be worse... Snapped some pictures, but left my phone at home today, so I'll try and post them tonight. From what I could see, the spoiler isn't broken or disconnected from the body, but it is loose and can easily be jiggled. Luckily the door stopped before ripping it off completely and nothing else visible was damaged.

If the spolier is loose is broken.

You may be able to reattach the broken bolt receiveR's with epoxy.

Like said above its a few bolts and two connections.

I had similar happen. Exterior of spoiler looked great, but the inside plastic cracked that kept the spoiler mounted. Messed with epoxy and tapes, but high winds in winter made it rattle. Despite it looking fine, I replaced it because of the rattle. 450$ for new spoiler painted and installed.

Sorry for the delayed response. Work has been hell with the quarter ending and holiday coming up. Here's a quick photo I snapped yesterday (getting it washed after our camping trip this weekend). As you can tell it's not too bad and it's only slightly loose when I force it to move. Nothing is hanging off though.

Was this through a local body shop, dealer? Price seems resonable.
