Spoiler rattle / removal / tightening

For the Longest time I've had a rattling noise in my car. It has been about two years since I last posted about this noise.

I think I finally figured it out and it has to do with the spoiler. One side of the spoiler is loose.

Does anyone know how to tighten or remove and reinstall the spoiler?

Thanks for inputs in advance.

The spoiler was loose on our car as well as I discovered when waxing the car. Took it to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty.

Open up the liftgate, and towards the top (where it connects to the roof) there are connection points on the far left and far right under the spoiler, where the spoiler's bolts come through the gate and are attached with nuts.

This happened to me as well, and it turned out one of the nuts had fallen off and disappeared. The dealer was able to order a replacement nut and that was it.
