Body → 66 Exterior equipment → Spoiler → Removing and installing
side spoiler.
2. Remove the (tape) residue from the windscreen and clean it thoroughly with
cleaning solution D 009.401.04*.
3. Using a dry microfiber cloth, wipe the window dry and wait 5 minutes
before proceeding with the next step.
4. Apply one layer of glass primer (D 177.500.A1**), apply the primer in one
direction only (Figure 1 and 2).

5. Directly after applying the primer, use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the
primed surface in one swipe as shown in Figure 2 (wipe in one direction
only).
6. Again wait 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

7. Remove the protective film from the upper part of the flap and install the
flap by aligning it to the edge of the rear spoiler as shown in Figure 3.

8. Remove the protective film from the long side of the flap and Install the flap
