Removal and installation of a back spoiler
Seal the painted surfaces along the spoiler with textile adhesive tape. Cut the spoiler off the tailgate (cut the sealant), and cut off the double-sided adhesive tape, for example, with a cutting wire -357 853 999 B-. Remove spoiler.
Installation
Note: The ambient temperature when gluing the spoiler must be more than 18°C!
Thoroughly clean the surface to be bonded, e.g. cleaning agent D 009 401 04. Apply adhesive sealant D 172 090 A2 into the guide groove (pos. 2) in spoiler. Glue the spoiler: 15 minutes after applying the adhesive sealant! Partially stick on the protective film from the adhesive tape around the edges. Position the spoiler evenly on the tailgate. Maintain a uniform distance of 2 mm from the edge of the tailgate. Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape. Press the spoiler evenly onto the trunk lid. Secure the spoiler against shifting with adhesive tape.
Note: The adhesive sealant dries in 2 hours. During this time, driving is not allowed. Do not wash the vehicle in a car wash for 24 hours after gluing the spoiler.
