Can the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap Be Used On a Vehicle With a Roof Spoiler?
Question:
I want to use the Curt stabilizer strap on my Acura RDX 2016 with 1.25inch hitch. I see two slots on each side of the top of rear spoiler where I can hook it up. It is OK with me to use two straps. Is this what I should do? I put the strap I have into the slot in question and made the picture. Sorry it failed to upload.

I think I understand the gist of what you're describing and to answer it plainly yes you can use it in that manor.
I took a look at your 2016 Acura MDX and it looks like the area you're describing is exactly where you're supposed to install the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050.
Check out the picture I've attached of this part being installed on a similar vehicle with a roof spoiler. As long as this is what you're describing, then you can absolutely use it in that way.
If not, then I am going to have to urge you not to use it that way.
