Fitting Boot Spoiler

[wilson]

Hello all, my 16v has had the boot replaced at some stage and doesn't have a rear spoiler.  the spoilers have three bolts, how do I fit a new one?

Can I just drill three holes?   or is the GTI boot actually different?

Thanks

You can't drill toughend glass, it will shatter. To fit the spoiler properly, find a rear screen from a GTI and swap it over.
The other option is to rip the studs out and bond the spoiler to the glass somehow...

Oh dear, I didn't realise they were fitted through the glass !!!

Might just leave it off, unless a screen appears nearby !

Thanks for advise.

or else find a mk2 golf votex rear spoiler which follows the same lines as GTi but fixes using the rear window seal

[wilson]

Oh right, are they aftermarket, that look the same?  where would I find one of those...?

Thanks for your help

i picked one up of german ebay last year, needs sprayed satin black, but has all the fitting clips etc which is the important part

even comes with little glass plugs to allow u to fit to a GTI screen

i ended up having to pay about £40 all in inc postage from germany for it

never got round to fitting it either - might do it this summer though

look like this:-
