SPOILER (LIFTGATE EXTENSION) - SERVICE INFORMATION
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1985 MERKUR XR4Ti
When removing the spoiler from the liftgate to correct a service concern, it is necessary to replace the spoiler plugs which cover the spoiler attaching
screws. These plugs which are plastic, are a press fit plug with indexed retaining prongs. The spoiler is also a plastic material. Do not attempt to pry the
plugs out around the outer edges as this will damage the spoiler material. To remove the plugs, drill a small hole in the plug and insert a self tapping
screw. The plugs can then be pulled out with pliers.
Figure 1 - SPOILER PLUGS
Service replacement plugs must be painted with appropriate body color prior to installation. Because each of the 9 plugs are specially contoured to fit a
specific hole in the spoiler, the plugs are packaged for service on a "tree" as shown in Figure 1. Each plug is embossed on the unfinished side with its
designated location. The complete removal and installation procedure for the spoiler is outlined in Section 47-10 of the 1985 Merkur XR4Ti Shop
Manual.
