I just bought this model used. When turning on ignition, I get nothing but clicking. Battery is charged, terminals are clean, sanded and Nickle based lubricant applied. What am I missing?

Check the grounding cables between the engine and chassis, batt and chassis.
How old is the battery?
Get the battery load tested at AutoZone.
If you have a multimeter, measure the standing voltage of the battery and when a start attempt is made.

Rear spoiler issues
3G 2011 - 2016 SportageAnyone else notice if your rear spoiler is starting to come off? I've noticed that my rear spoiler is slowly separating from the vehicle.
