Rear End Spoiler Procedure
- 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.
- Use a heat gun or equivalent to remove the rear end spoiler. Use a plastic flat bladed tool to assist in removal.
- Clean any remaining residue with a 50/50 mixture by volume of isopropyl alcohol and clean drinkable water. Wipe surface dry with a clean lint-free towel.
- When removing protective liners from the adhesive tape, be careful not to touch tape with hands and do not allow tape to come in contact with dirt or any foreign matter prior to adhesion.
- Use rear end spoiler studs to position spoiler.
- Press evenly over the rear end spoiler foot to ensure full adhesion is made.
