Installing Rear Spoiler

Model: Honda Civic MK 9 - Years 2012-2015
Part: Body

Apply masking tape along the outer edge of the rear boot and attach the drilling template to mark the points for fixing the spoiler. Punch the marked points to assist with drill bit centring and drill first with a smaller bit and then with a larger one; finally, use a countersink to remove any burrs. Apply rust inhibitor. Since the spoiler will increase the weight of the boot, it is necessary to replace the boot support spring with the reinforced one included in the kit. Remove the film from the adhesive strip at the spoiler fixing flange, pass the cable through, and insert the spoiler, tightening the fixing pins. Connect the cable to the rear brake lights.
