Rear End Spoiler Assembly

Procedure

1. The part and surface should be 21°C (70°F) prior to installation. The vehicle should remain 21°C (70°F) for one hour after assembly to allow adhesive to develop sufficient bond strength.
2. Use a J 25070 Heat Gun or equivalent, to remove the old spoiler. Clean all the adhesive residue from the rear compartment lid and wipe the surface dry with a clean lint-free towel prior to installing the new spoiler.
3. When removing protective liners from adhesive backed spoiler, be careful not to touch the tape with hands and do not allow the tape to come in contact with dirt or any foreign matter prior to adhesion.
4. Press the spoiler firmly to the top side of the rear compartment lid to ensure full adhesion is made to the rear compartment lid.
