...to form a small cut or crack in the plastic valance which the spoiler is attached...
A sheet metal trick may work here in that when a crack forms and you want to stop it. Drill about an 1/8 inch hole just in front of the crack. The crack will reach the hole and usually stops growing from there.

This is a temporary fix kind of thing as the part is still weaker but will last longer till it can be replaced or patched.

It's hard for me to find snow drifts, plowed or otherwise here in Florida, sand on the other hand... though I would gladly have the snow over the hurricanes. Grew up in Pa. so I learned to drive in the white stuff as well.

Going to have to try the roof spoiler though on the back of my shell, may only set it for a few degrees down though, not the eight to twelve I've read about. Though I may try to incorporate winglets to further reduce drag.
