Title: Fitting a Spoiler mk4 golf
Post by: ATaylor on 10 May 2007, 13:33: Hi All,
I have recently bought a rear boot spoiler from ebay, i have now had the spoiler sprayed up.
does anybody have any tips on how to fit? the spoiler came with glue to bond it on but not sure how long it takes to go off and not sure how to keep it in place without standing holding it down like a lemon!

Get a tube of black silicone sealer to do the edges, run your finger along it to seal it - this will stop water and wind getting underneath it and eventually ripping it off
