• Q: How to remove and reinstall the rear spoiler on 2007 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The first step for rear spoiler removal involves uninstalling the back window panel trim upper before continuing with the rest of the process. The installation requires first removing the rear spoiler by undoing its 2 bolts and single nut. A heat light needs to warm both the body and rear spoiler until temperatures reach between 40 to 60 degrees Celsius (104 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure heat does not exceed 60 degrees Celsius. Pull the piano wire while using a wooden block as an anchor to remove adhesive tape from the rear spoiler yet ensure proper care of the spoiler and body during same spoiler reuse. Reinstalling the rear spoiler requires heating the body and rear spoiler surface to 40 to 60 degrees Celsius (104 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) but avoid overheating at any time. First wipe away all remnants of adhesive tape from the body surface before cleaning stains with appropriate solutions. When resuming use of the rear spoiler, raise its temperature alongside the body to 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). Then use clean adhesive tape as per pictures to apply on the rear spoiler. After reheating both body and rear spoiler components you should raise the rear spoiler and eliminate the release paper by maintaining gentle thumb-induced pressure on the uncovered area. The process ends with the installation of back window panel trim upper.
