Preparations

Applies to cars with standard spoiler

• Clean around the spoiler.

• Wipe dry.

• Tape around the spoiler.

• Heat around the edges of the spoiler and carefully pry it off using a weatherstrip tool. Do not damage painted surfaces.

• Remove the masking tape.

• Remove any tape residue: Use circular grinding tool part no. 9512942 installed on the drill.

Applies to all models

• Clean the marked area on the boot lid.

• Wipe dry.

• Clean the marked area on the boot lid using isopropanol.

• Wipe dry.

• Wipe clean the protective tape on the spolier's attachment tape before marking up on the boot lid.

• Position and centre the spoiler on the boot lid panel.

• Mark its position laterally and longitudinally using a white-board marker.

• Remove the spoiler and tape along the marking on the boot lid's rear edge to prevent primer spillage. Fold up the lower edge of the tape so that any excess primer ends up there.

Illustrations A and B

• Detach the backing tape from the attaching tape on both sides, fold it up and secure it using a piece of tape on top of the spoiler.

Illustrations A and B

• Apply a bead of primer to the boot lid, 5 mm (13/64") within the markings, and the wider area on both ends and in the centre of the boot lid. Ensure that primer does not get on other surfaces, if so, clean with isopropanol.

• Apply primer within the markings at the sides of the spoiler and in the centre.

• Allow the primer to dry for 10 minutes.

Illustrations A and B

• Cut off the nozzle so that the inner diameter becomes approx. 6 mm.

• Apply adhesive to the marked areas on both sides of the spoiler and in the centre.

• Remove the tape from the rear edge of the boot lid.

• Move the spoiler carefully down towards the boot lid. Place it edge-to-edge at the start of the marking on one side of the boot lid, and at the piece of tape at the front edge. Keep depressed.

• Carefully pull off the spoiler's protective tape, maintaining the position of the spoiler. Start by pulling off the protective tape (1) on the ends first, then at the front edge (2), then the short rear (3) then the long rear (4).

• Secure the spoiler as the protective tape is removed. Bend the spoiler so that it follows the markings on the boot lid at the front edge of the spoiler. Do not secure the spoiler too close to where the protective tape is pulled off. If the tape adheres, try to carefully pry the spoiler up slightly to make it easier to remove the protective tape.

• Press the spoiler so that the tape adheres properly.

• Clean off the markings using isopropanol.
