Instructions
Inspect spoiler for imperfections. If filling is
required, use a catalyzed body filler.
If a catalyzed body-filler is used, be sure to prime over
the spot.
Sand the spoiler with 400 grit, or finer, wet sand paper
until smooth.
Apply basecoat / clearcoat finish of your choice.
NOTE: This spoiler has been coated with a catalyzed
primer/sealer. Unless additional filling has been done, no primer is
required.
These are generic instructions are for the installation of most car
spoilers. SUV and van installation is basically the same, but
there may be a piece of molding above the back window that will need to be
removed during installation. After removing the molding, you may need
to pull the headliner out of the way while drilling. When done,
replace the headliner and molding.
PLEASE, read the instructions
thoroughly BEFORE any installation or pre-work begins!
1.
After
opening and inspecting your rear spoiler, you can begin the
installation. Open the decklid and cover the carpet with a drop
cloth, so that any hot metal shavings will not burn into the carpet.
Also, remove any trim panels with either a panel puller or a screw
driver. Notice that the LED light and the pedestal gaskets
come pre-installed (pre-painted spoilers only), which will save some
time.
2.
Turn
the spoiler over and set it on a soft surface to prevent any scratches.
Place the plastic locator T-strips into the mounting holes and, if
applicable, the LED brake light hole. TIP: A small piece of
masking tape is helpful in holding the T-strips in position.
3.
Place
spoiler on closed decklid and align to the proper position. A
measuring tape will ensure a "perfect" alignment.
4.
Use
making tape to secure the T-Strips to the decklid of the vehicle.
Simply remove the spoiler by carefully lifting straight up, leaving the T-Strips
secured to the decklid.
5.
Use
a 1/8" drill bit and drill through the T-Strip holes and into the
decklid. It is not necessary to drill through a double-panel on
this application, because we can utilize the factory openings on the
underside.
If your spoiler has a light, you will have to find the point directly
between the two holes you've drilled for the side of the spoiler
containing the wire for the light. Once this point is located drill a
hole through it using the 1/8" bit. Then use the 5/16" to widen it.
6.
Remove
the T-Strips. Use a 5/16" drill bit to drill through the 1/8"
pilot hole you made in Step 5. If a "double-panel" does exist, use
a 3/4" drill bit to drill thru the "inner-panel." This allows the
ratchet or nutdriver to secure the screw tightly against the upper
panel.
7.
Remove
metal burrs from all the holes. Apply a small amount of primer to the
holes. This will help prevent rusting of the freshly drilled
metal.
8.
If you have encountered a "double-panel", open your trunk. If you find
that you have plastic or rubber plugs in the
location underneath the holes you've drilled to mount the spoiler,
remove the plugs.
If there are no plugs or holes on the underside of the
trunk, you will have to use your Phillips
screwdriver and either your hand or a rubber mallet for this next step. Perform the following steps for each
mounting hole you drilled in the previous steps:
Insert
the screwdriver through one of the top mounting holes.
Hold the screwdriver firmly in one hand, and strike the handle with your
hand or rubber mallet with enough force to make an indentation on the
underside of the trunk. This will mark the spot on the inside of the
trunk for you to drill through the double-panel.
Center the bit on the indentations you made and drill out all necessary
holes.
9.
Pull
back the pedestal gaskets and expose the mounting tape. Place the
spoiler on the decklid and use the supplied screws to secure the spoiler
to the vehicle using a ratchet or nutdriver. Be sure to feed the
LED light wire through the pre-determined hole (if
applicable).
Apply a small amount of silicone-based caulk over the mounting screws.
This will help prevent leaking, rusting or loosening of the screws.
TIP: Gasket material is extremely sticky once it is exposed, so if
you spray it with water or glass cleaner, you can more easily reposition
the spoiler as needed.
10.
When
installing the LED brake light, it is recommended that you splice into
the third brake light in the vehicle and attach the spoiler wires using
electrical tape. Step on the brake to ensure that you have
properly wired the light. If it doesn't work, simply switch the
two connections.
11.
Finish
the installation by vacuuming up any debris or metal shavings.
Reinstall any panels, mats or other items that had to be removed earlier
in the installation.
