    Note
    It is recommended to perform this procedure indoors. Acceptable ambient and part temperature for installation is 15-43 degrees Celsius (60-110 degrees Fahrenheit) for proper adhesion.
  2. Check the gap between the LH rear fog/reverse light and the LH taillight. The gap specification is 3 mm. If the gap is out of specification, adjust it as needed.
  3. Check the gap between the RH rear fog/reverse light and the RH taillight. The gap specification is 3 mm. If the gap is out of specification, adjust it as needed.
  4. Apply masking tape along the inner edge of the LH and RH taillights.
  5. Dry fit the rear spoiler between the taped areas.
  6. Apply masking tape to the center of the rear spoiler. Leave excess masking tape to apply to the trunk lid later in this procedure.
  7. Verify the rear spoiler fitment on the trunk lid.
