Preparing the rear spoiler
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
HINT: If the trunk lid is new, drill the holes before painting the trunk lid.
Use cloth on both sides to protect the paint from swarf.
Measure the position for the holes. Mark the positions using a center punch.
Lubricate the drilling point using grease.
Drill one 6.5 mm and three 8 mm holes.
Use a 20 mm boring stop.
Check that the spoiler aligns with the trunk lid.
Treat using rustproofing agent.
Degrease the surface where the spoiler is to be positioned. Use white spirit.
