How To: Roof Spoiler


Recommended Posts

Roof Spoiler 1,244mm long 

Here is a quick how to on the roof spoiler.

Unlike me, you will want to wait for a sunny day to do the work.  You will need the following if in a cool area.

-Heat Gun ~Maybe a hair dryer will do

-Rubbing Alcohol prep

-Lint free towel

-5 minutes of your time.

 

1. Get the back glass clean

2. You can use the supplied 'wet nap' pad or I suggest using a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a lint free towel to wipe the top 5-6" of glass all the way across

3. IF WARM AND SUNNY SKIP TO 4.  Now you will want to warm up the glass some with a heat gun, or at least a hair dryer to warm the surface of the glass.

4. Peel off about 1/2 of the 3M tape and lay it close to the edge of the glass.  Bend the spoiler as it has a flex to it, to allow it to follow the curve of your glass.  

5. Peel the rest off and lay it down.  Press firm across the new panel to assure a secure fit.

6. COLD WEATHER ONLY Take the heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the panel and tape below to make sure it becomes sticky for a secure fit.

7.DONE.  Now admire your new work

 

After putting mine on I went for a spirited 141 MPH run in the car and it stayed on firm and secure.  Check out how beautiful the black matches up.  Add style to the SHO.
