How to Install a Car Spoiler?
1 Answers
There are two methods for installing a car spoiler: adhesive mounting and bolt fixing. The adhesive method avoids damaging the trunk lid and prevents water leakage, while the bolt fixing method provides a more secure hold but requires drilling, which can alter the original appearance of the trunk lid and may lead to water leakage if not installed properly. Below is relevant information about car spoilers: 1. A spoiler, professionally known as a rear wing, is part of the car's aerodynamic kit. The main function of a spoiler is to reduce lift at the rear of the vehicle. If the lift at the rear is greater than that at the front, it can lead to excessive steering, reduced rear-wheel grip, and poorer high-speed stability. 2. The adhesive mounting method for a car spoiler involves directly applying adhesive, such as silicone sealant, making it very simple and convenient. It can also be removed for annual inspections. Note that after installation, avoid washing the car for a week. Choose a sunny day with low humidity for installation to prevent the adhesive from weakening due to moisture. 3. The bolt fixing method for a spoiler involves finding a suitable position on the trunk lid, aligning it with the bolt holes on the spoiler, and marking the spots. Use a hand drill to make holes at the marked spots on the trunk lid, apply silicone sealant at the drilling positions and the spoiler joint to prevent water leakage. Tighten the fixing screws, working from the inside of the trunk outward.
