Clean the bonding surface thoroughly, e.g. with cleaning agent D 009 401 04. Apply adhesive sealant D 172 090 A2 into the guide groove (item 2) in the spoiler. Bond the spoiler: 15 minutes after applying the adhesive sealant! Partially stick the protective film from the adhesive tape along the edges. Position the spoiler evenly on the tailgate. Maintain an even gap of 2 mm from the edge of the tailgate. Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape. Press the spoiler evenly onto the tailgate. Secure the spoiler against shifting with adhesive tape.
