• Q: How to replace the rear spoiler on 2001 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The rear spoiler replacement process starts with taking off the back window panel trim upper before removing the spoiler by extracting its 2 bolts and nut. Apply a heat light to warm the body moulding up to 40 - 60 degrees C (104 - 140 degrees F) while avoiding overheating of the rear spoiler. The wire ends should be tied to a wooden block as a scraping object to strip off adhesive tape through wire tension.

The body rear spoiler requires heating to 40 - 60 degrees C (104 - 140 degrees F) before removing protective tape from the body surface and cleaning off stains. To reuse the rear spoiler heat its temperature to 20 - 30 degrees C (68 - 86 degrees F) before removing the adhesive tape and cleaning the surface of all stains. Begin by adding new tape onto the rear spoiler before you start heating both components according to the recommended specifications.
