How to replace the rear roof spoiler?
I hit a 500lb. feral hog 2 weeks ago and caused a lot of purely cosmetic damage. It was nearly midnight and I was on the road that leads to my rural home. The hog was black, didn't look at me, and ran out at the last second, so I hit it in spite of great brakes, which probably prevented further damage. The stout aluminum bumper under the bodywork of the front end was strong enough to kill this large pig, yet was not deformed. Enough of my "safe car" pitch. Since I had to order many parts to right the damage I did suffer, I decided to replace my tiny MC spoiler with an "S" spoiler in hopes that it actually improves aerodynamics, thence fuel economy. The problem is that there are no attach points of any kind on the new one, and I don't know how to remove the old spoiler. The parts man said there were no other parts listed to install this spoiler. Some of you have neat aftermarket spoilers, so you would know how to do this swap. I appreciate your time and advise! -Jeffy.
take the 2 nuts off the old spoiler under the top of the hatch...then take fishing line and carefully work it through the underneath of the spoiler...it a real PITA. My old spoiler has some nicks. The dealership uses Beta-Link spoiler (or 3M windshield glue) to adhere the new one on....once that stuff sets...its on there....
