Installation
Installing the trunk lid spoiler
Caution! Exercise care so that the paintwork is not scratched.
Note! Ensure that the trunk lid and spoiler are kept at a temperature of at least +16 °C.
Caution! Use isopropanol immediately to remove any primer spillage and adhesive from the trunk lid or spoiler.
Cut off as much of the adhesive residue as possible.
Hint: Keep isopropanol and paper to hand.
Note! If the paint surface is waxed it must be first cleaned using cleaner H, part no. 116 1436.
Note! The adhesive surface must be completely dry before applying primer.
Clean the adhesive surface of the trunk lid and spoiler. Use cleaner 116 1653 in the relevant area. Wipe dry.
Note! Use water-soluble ink, e.g., whiteboard marker, which can easily be removed.
Align the spoiler on the trunk lid. Draw around the outer contours of the spoiler using a marker pen (1).
Apply primer 116 1652 in the marked area.
M1 = 10 mm from the outer edge of the spoiler.
Apply primer 116 1652 to the adhesive surface of the spoiler. Ensure that the primer enters the two adhesive grooves.
Hint: Use a cotton bud with primer to further penetrate the adhesive grooves.
Allow the primer to dry for 10 minutes.
Cut the adhesive nozzle as follows
M3 = 8 mm
M4 = 18.5 mm
M5 = 9 mm.
Caution! To make sure that the adhesive is properly mixed, apply a 10 cm adhesive bead in a piece of paper.
Note! Do not leave any adhesive in the area M2 as this results in a risk of spills.
Apply adhesive to the adhesive surface of the spoiler. M2 = 20 mm.
Caution! Make sure that the spoiler is positioned securely with the adhesive surface facing up, or as an alternative, have two people do this operation.Apply adhesive quickly to produce two even beads. The application of too much adhesive causes overflow and the adhesive becomes visible.
