I have the C7 Carbon 1LE spoiler (the car came with it) and was not totally thrilled with it's build quality. A lot of potential for leakage through the stands/ posts of the spoiler ultimately causing the potential for a lot of leakage in through the integrated stand bolts which can make it into your actual trunk itself, but I understand why they need to be built the way they are with that being said. Sealing not only requires that stupid double sided tape stuff that I loathe using so much, but I had to apply a sealant to the stands where the bolts go into to hold the actual spoiler itself on the top, onto the trunk itself, and as a "just in case" I put some sealant on the bolts as well where the nuts go onto.

Unfortunately, I just recently had to do this too, as the spoiler was leaking so bad that it was allowing tons of water that we were getting from this heavy duty rain where I'm at to get into the trunk through the center stand/ post. If I didn't do it, the potential for a lot of the electronics on the trunk floor as well as the trunk latch itself would have gotten water damage and possibly short circuited.

All is good now, but it was a pain in the rear to get it right, and the center stand does not sit totally flush on the trunk and that in itself seems like a fit and finish issue.
