on the adhesive tapes (1):
Dimension A =310 mm
Dimension B = 367 mm

A rear spoiler loosely placed on the trunk lid must not protrude, especially at the corners.
- Transfer the mid-centring (1) via adhesive tape to the outer side of the rear spoiler.

Check if the rear spoiler (3) is centrally seated on the trunk lid.

- Detach the liner (protective film for bonding surface) (2), align the rear spoiler (3) as shown in the overview graphic and bond to the trunk lid.
Press down with force on the rear spoiler (3) using the hands over the entire area, in particular at the edges.
NOTE: The adhesion of the adhesive tape builds up significantly via the contact pressure. Therefore, press thumbs or fingers over the entire area. - Remove the adhesive tape.
