6.2 HSV Coupe Rear Spoiler – New Rear

Quarter Panel and New Spoiler

These instructions explain how to achieve the correct attaching hole locations for the rear spoilers when new panels are

being used and the spoilers are damaged beyo nd using as templates as pr eviously noted.

Decklid Centre Spoiler Outer Holes

Apply a 50 mm wide strip of masking tape along the outer edge of the Deck lid, both sides. The tape is to extend from the

front edge along the entire top surface.

Using a suitable pen or marker measure 18,0 mm in from the edge of the decklid and mark a line along the length of the

tape parallel to the edge.

From the front edge of the Decklid measure alo ng the line 462 mm to mark the front hole position.

Measure 20 mm in from the Decklid edge and mark a parallel lin e alo ng the last 100 mm of the Decklid top surface.

Intersect this line with a line 43 mm behind the front hole for the position of the rear hole. Refer to figure 1.

Centre punch the hole positions and carefully drill 6 mm pilot holes.

Using a step drill, open thes e holes up to 10,5 mm diameter (a 10 mm step drill produces a 10,5 diameter hole). Refer to

figure 2.

De-burring and Anti-corrosion Treatment

All holes must be de-burred prior to anti-corrosion treatment.

All holes must be treated with Zink-Rich Prim er, allow primer to cure and then paint the holes car co lour automotive

touch up paint prior to final assembly.

Sealing

Once all spoiler components are in place ensure the seals cover the mounting holes.

General Precaution

Cover all components inside the rear com partment to protect against ingress of drilling swarf and dust.

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.
