The assembly is shown on model 204.0.

The vehicle and the rear spoiler should have the same temperature (ambient temperature) when installing to prevent later distortion from various thermal expansion.

The area on the trunk lid to be glued must be free of dust and grease. For cleaning, use mixture of IPA (Isopropanol alcohol) and water with a ratio of 50: 50.

Install rear spoiler (1) on trunk lid (3), position correctly and align.
The rear spoiler (1) should be positioned on the edge of the trunk lid (3) and then slid toward front until the stop can be felt clearly (b). The spoiler should have a uniform gap around the trunk lid (3).
