OEM decklid spoiler question

I just had a new OEM decklid spoiler installed and I noticed a tiny notch cutout directly above the Mercedes emblem. Can anyone with the same OEM spoiler verify if theirs has the same thing? I don't know if it came from the factory like that to help center it or if the mark was made by the installer. Either way now that I notice it it kinda annoys me lol. If it comes from the factory like that it would annoy me less.

Really? Nobody can look at their spoiler to see if it has the same thing or has any idea what it is?

its not a centering mark (they are mounted with a kit), it's a drain hole for water

Interesting, I guess that makes sense. I actually check out another random C300 and it didn't have this hole on the spoiler, maybe mine is just a newer revision or something? Does your have the same thing?

You should probably wash her.

Lol, she's been washed since no worries. In Chicago we don't have the luxury to always have our cars clean from salt 27/7.

Yes, OEM spoilers have this. My oem spoiler is the one below. I was also curious about this notch last year, and checked out the other mercedes with spoilers at my company's lot. All of them also have this.
