adhesive. Care must be taken not to damage the paintwork of the vehicle when performing this operation.

1. Apply masking tape up against the front and side edges of the roof spoiler. The tape must extend for a

distance of atleast 75mm away from the edges of the spoiler. This tape is to protect the roof and rear

quarter panels from damage when removing the spoiler and adhesive.

2. Slide a body filler applicator or similar stiff plastic plate between the spoiler and the body panels. Using a

cutting action lik e a knife, break the Urethane adhesive bond. The cutting will need to be done across the

roof panel, down the sides of the glass and also across the glass in the centre of the spoiler. The spoiler

maybe pulled away from the panels for access to the Urethane, but extreme care must be taken to avoid

damage to the panels and paint work.

6. Locate the spoiler in position on the vehicle using the previously applied location marks (china graph

pencil).

7. Take the spoiler to hold it in position while the Urethane adhesive cures refer drawing E0I-010004. The

cure time for the Urethane adhesive is 24 hours, it is not recommended that the tape be removed or

the vehicle be driven in this period.

8. Remove the tape from the spoiler and the vehicle after the 24-hour cure time and polish the area to remove

any foreign m atter, which may have been lef t by this procedure.
