The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a molded article (11) of a rubber polymer to which another article (12) is detachably connected. The method comprises the steps of providing a coupling means (2), comprising a first (2a) and second (2b) member, both of which are provided with interlocking elements (21,22) along connectable edges, the interlocking elements (21,22) being configured to interlock in a substantially continuous way along the edges in the connected state, and unlock in the disconnected state; integrating the first member (2a) and the molded article (11), such that its interlocking elements (21) are available for connection; integrating the second member (2b) and the other article (12), such that its interlocking elements (22) are available for connection; and interlocking the interlocking elements (21,22) of the first and second member (2a,2b) to produce the detachable connection between the articles. The invention further relates to a vehicle spoiler (1), portions of which are mutually connected by the method of the invention.

A slide fastener includes: a pair of stringers; and a slider. The pair of stringers include: a pair of tapes, a pair of element rows each including a plurality of elements, and an opener. At least one element row includes the elements of a plurality of types, and is classified into a neighboring class, and a remote class. Regarding an impact to be applied to the elements and the stop claw which collide inside the slider when a force for pulling out one of the element rows from the slider is applied to the one element row, the elements forming the remote class include strong elements of a type configured to strengthen the impact more than the elements forming the neighboring class. All of the elements forming the neighboring class are weak elements of a type configured to weaken the impact more than the strong elements.

A slide fastener includes a pair of left and right fastener tapes; and a pair of element rows including a plurality of fastener elements that face edge portions of the fastener tapes on sides facing each other along a length direction of the fastener tapes, and to which a slider that engages with the pair of element rows is slidably attached. The fastener element is made of a metal, a water-repellent layer made of a water-repellent agent is provided on the fastener tape, and adhesion of water to the fastener tape is prevented by the water-repellent layer.
