The rear mounting bolt on the side spoiler (the threaded shaft that goes through a tube to the trunk) was rusted away. I dug into the foam to clear out the rusted chunks and found a solid metal bar there inside the spoiler.
I threaded bicycle shift cable around that (pita) and pulled the cable ends through the tube that runs through the car body and tightened with customized bycycle brake adjuster. Was a bit loose the first time because the hole in the spoiler where the old bolt was was large, so I replaced the white washer in the photo with a custom rubber and metal grommet made from plumbers supplies that fit perfectly inside the hole where the old bolt was (see linked photos). Perfect snug fit.
