  A: The repair of the rear spoiler sub-assembly requires initial steps which start with removal of the luggage compartment door inside handle cover and then proceed with removal of the luggage compartment door handle inside and ultimately the luggage compartment door cover.

When the spoiler is removed from the vehicle the operator should heat the body mounting area for installation while also removing protective tape before cleaning any visible stains using a cleaning solution. When reusing the spoiler it must be cleaned before removing adhesive tape and installation of fresh tape follows the provided illustration. The installation of the spoiler requires heating both the body and spoiler to an appropriate temperature before securing it with the provided 4 bolts.
