Refitting

Check that the spoiler is undamaged.

1. Clean the surfaces (1a) and (1b) of the vehicle affected by the sticking of the spoiler, removing any residues of adhesive; then degrease the surfaces using heptane.

1. Wait for at least three minutes, but no longer than 24 hours (the recommended time is less than 1 hour), then apply the sealant bead (hot, following the instructions on the product packaging).

1. Place the spoiler (1a) in position and fit it using the equipment.

the recommended distance of 1.5 mm between the moulding (1a) and the rearscreen (1b) should be maintained.

If necessary, clean any residues of sealant from the trim and the bodywork.
