5 Coupe Rear Spoiler – Type 1
ATTENTION
Before performing any Service Operation or other procedure described in this Section, refer to Section 00
CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or property damage.
NOTE
HSV Coupe Models have been fitted with two
designs of spoilers. The difference between the
two spoilers is the attachment method. Early
design spoilers have the RH & LH spoiler sides
retained with mounting studs and urethane
adhesive. Later design spoiler sides are retained
with mounting studs and only use a daub of
urethane adhesive located at the very front
corner.
The type of spoiler fitted can be determined by
first removing the attachings nuts, seals and
washers. If the spoiler is then still firmly attached
to the body panels, it will be the first design of
spoiler (type 1). This has urethane used along its
edges and around the front mounting point. If the
spoiler side is loose and free to move relative to
the body panels, it will be the second design
(type 2) and will only have a small daub of
urethane located at the front edge.
Refer to the removal procedure below.

7 Servicing the HSV Coupe Rear
Spoiler
These instructions explain how to achieve the correct attaching hole locations for the rear spoilers.
Two service procedures are explained, first a vehicle with undamaged body panels and also where body panel
replacement is involved.
7.1 Servicing Coupe Rear Spoilers –
Undamaged body panels
When servicing HSV Coupe Rear Spoilers the following procedure is used if body panel replacement is not
involved. The existing attaching holes may require slotting to suit the new spoiler.
Centre Spoiler
• Slotting may be required on the centre spoiler attaching holes.
• Slotting if required would be about 2 mm - 3 mm.
• The direction and amount can be determined by taping the spoiler in position onto the body panels
with masking tape then with the aid of a lamp sighting the attaching holes from underneath with the
Deck Lid open and the Rear Compartment Trim removed if required.
• The holes may possibly be up to half a hole out. Slot the holes to suit the spoiler attachments.
Outer Spoilers
• Slotting of the upper mounting holes may or may not be necessary.
• This must be evaluated with the Centre Spoiler fitted and the deck lid closed.
• Assemble the Side Spoiler into position on the Rear Quarter Outer Panel with masking tape to retain
it. Open the Deck Lid to gain access to the Rear Compartment.
• With the aid of a lamp sight the Side Spoiler upper mounting holes to check the alignment of the
spoiler attachments.
• The misalignment (if any) of the holes is the amount of slotting necessary for the upper mounting
holes. Slot the holes to suit.
Att achi ng Part s
• The later type Spoiler Sides use the front corner attaching nut (M5) part number 70A-991301
quantity one per side (this is an M5 flange nut and earlier spoilers had M6 nuts).
Sealing
• Once all spoiler components are in place ensure the seals cover the mounting holes.
General Precaution
• After all holes have been drilled or slotted perform a trial fitment check with all parts using masking
tape to hold seals in place, do not remove adhesive protection film from the seals until final assembly
is undertaken.
• Cover all components inside the rear compartment to protect against ingress of drilling swarf and
dust.
• De-burr all holes prior to painting.
• If parts of the spoiler assembly are still serviceable, not damaged and still located correctly on the
vehicle they can be used to assist with alignment of the replacement parts.
• All parts of the spoiler (center and sides) are to be temporarily attached to the vehicle in position with
masking tape while preliminary fitment check is completed.
• Check the gaps and alignment of the 3 spoiler components at all assembly stages of this procedure.
Body Page B–33
Page B–33
7.2 Servicing HSV Coupe Rear Spoilers –
Where Service Replacement Body
Panels are Installed
If panel replacement is involved in the vehicle repair, holes will need to be drilled to suit the spoilers.
All holes drilled and punched are to be completed after the panels have been fitted to the vehicle but prior to
priming and painting.
If part of the spoiler is still serviceable is not damaged, still located correctly on the vehicle and will be reused, it
can be used to assist with alignment of the replacement parts.
To locate Attaching Holes
• All parts of the spoiler (center and sides) are to be temporarily attached to the vehicle in position with
masking tape.
• Check the gaps and alignment of the 3 spoiler components.
Alignment Tape
• With the spoilers located and taking care to avoid the spoiler retaining tape previously applied,
accurately apply 12 mm wide masking tape on the body panels aligned with the outer edges of the 3
spoilers. NOTE, The edge of the masking tape will give reference edges for the spoiler profiles to
work with for locating attaching holes.
• Carefully remove the spoilers from the body taking care not to damage the alignment tape shows the
reference edges.
Locating Attaching Holes
• Carefully lay the spoilers upside down on a table covered with protective cloth (to avoid surface
damage) and measure the attachment locations from the outer edges of the spoilers.
Marking Locating Holes on Body Panels
• Transfer the attachment positions back to the body panels using the edge tape as a reference.
• Masking tape and a suitable marker can be used to show the hole centres. Paper templates can be
made by the same method if it is deemed to be of assistance.
Drilling Attaching Holes
• Carefully drill 6,0 mm pilot holes in the positions marked.
Drilling Wiring Hole
• The spoiler wiring hole (CHMSL) is located 50 mm to the RH side of the centre mounting hole and
38 mm forward of the vertical edge of the deck lid.
• A hole is drilled to suit a 19 mm chassis punch. Refer to image below.
50 mm
38mm
19 mm Diam
Hole
Body Page B–34
Page B–34
Spoiler Re-Assembly
• Using masking tape to retain the parts, re-assemble the spoilers to the body aligning the edges of
the spoiler with the edge reference tape.
Attaching Hole Location Check
• Carefully open the deck lid (take care not to dislodge the centre spoiler).
• With the aid of a light, sight the pilot holes to check the alignment of the spoiler attachments with the
drilled holes.
Attaching Hole Size
• If the centre spoiler holes align correctly remove the spoiler and open the hole size up to 9,0 mm
using a step drill. If the holes do not align slot as required but do not exceed the seal coverage area
(refer to attaching parts).
Spoiler Sides
• The spoiler sighting procedure will require repeating on the spoiler sides but the 26 mm front
attaching hole needs to be punched first.
Side Spoiler Front Attaching Hole
• The front mounting hole of the side spoiler will need the pilot hole drilled out to suit the bolt on a 26,0
mm chassis punch.
• Punch the hole to 26,0 mm.
Upper Attaching Hole
• If the upper holes align correctly open the pilot holes up to 9,0 mm using a step drill. If the holes do
not align slot as required but do not exceed the seal coverage area (refer to attaching parts).
General Precaution
• After all holes have been drilled and punched perform a trial fitment check with all parts using
masking tape to hold seals in place, do not remove adhesive protection film from the seals until final
assem bl y is undertak en.
• Cover all components inside the rear compartment to protect against ingress of drilling swarf and
dust.
• De-burr all holes prior to painting.
• If parts of the spoiler are still serviceable, not damaged and still located correctly on the vehicle they
can be used to assist with alignment of the replacement parts.
• Check the gaps and alignment of the 3 spoiler components at all assembly stages of this procedure.

8 Roof Spoiler
ATTENTION
Before performing any Service Operation or other procedure described in this Section, refer to Section 00
CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or property damage.
8.1 Service Operations
Roof Spoiler Removal
NOTE
The roof spoiler is adhered to both the rear
window glass and the rear of the rear outer panel
with Urethane 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 like 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.
3. Clean the excess Urethane off the glass and panel work with a profit wheel, decal removing wheel or similar.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid damage to the panels and paint work.
Roof Spoiler Installation
1. Remove the protective masking tape used in the removal procedure.
2. Clean the attaching area with Urethane cleaner and prime the contact area.
3. With the assistance of another person locate the spoiler centrally between the roof mouldings (at the
sides of the rear glass) and align the spoiler side notches (located towards the top edge of the spoiler)
with the top rear window gl as s mouldi ng.
4. Using a china graph pencil (white) or similar place alignment marks on the spoiler and the body. These
will be used for location of the spoiler on the vehicle when the adhesive is applied.
5. Place the new spoiler upside down on a protective cloth and apply Urethane adhesive along the front
edge, sides and central leg as shown on drawing E0I-010004.
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 matter, which may have been left by this procedure.
