Default Rear Spoiler TA

I bought an original TA spoiler for my TA and took my repop off. The original is about 4 pounds heavier and does have some sag in it. The sag leaves about 1/2 clearance on each end ( the repop was fine). When it is in the sun it bows up and much of the sag goes away, but it is still there. When out of the sun the sag is about 3/8 inch. Any ideas about this and how to take some of the sag out. Otherwise, I have fixed the other problems and it is ready to paint.

Ive heard you can drill holes and fill with expanding foam
I would research which type of foam first as they make minimal expanding.

They all sag. They all only foam and gelcoat. I say leave it alone. If you want it to lay flatter when it is in the sun, add some type of spacer between the pedestals and the trunk lid. This will allow the ends to drop further and the top to lay flatter.
