    made the mistake of opening my garage while my trunk was up on my Prius Prime 2018. Luckily there is only a minor scratch the size of a pencil tip. I cleaned it to make it blend in, but still an annoyance and disappointed as i only got this car a week ago and didnt realize the trunk raises so high. Just wondering if anyone knows how easy it is to replace this piece? It's the long plastic red piece part of the spoiler assembly. Im sure ill get more scratches eventually and wondered if anyone else here has had this same issue?

    Thanks!

    I would recommend waiting until it warms up above 50 and best to wait till you have at least 70 to keep from breaking the little nubs on the tiny plastic spoiler end pieces. They are sounding really brittle to me.
