This manual describes how to install and handle the roof spoiler.
Before installing the part, please be sure to read this manual for proper
installation.
Precautions
1. Be sure to observe the contents in CAUTION for installation described in the main text during
the work. Neglecting it may cause coming-off or peeling-off of the part, and also may prevent
the vehicle from functioning.
2. Before the installation, turn the ignition switch to OFF, and apply the parking brake without
fail.
3. Do not use thinner or the like, otherwise the surface of the roof spoiler may be corroded. Also,
keep the part away from fire, otherwise it may be deformed.
4. When the ambient temperature is 15°C or lower, warm up all strips of the double-sided tape
and around the installation portion of the roof spoiler to approximately 30 to 50°C using a
dryer or infrared lamp. Local warm-up may deform the part. Do not use an industrial dryer.
5. Firmly press the double-sided tape to adhere well.
If it is reattached, the adhesive performance will extremely decrease. To avoid redoing, posi-
tion the tape correctly before attachment.
6. The adhesive strength of the double-sided tape increases gradually after the attachment. Do
not wash the vehicle within 24 hours after installing the part.
7. When washing the vehicle or applying wax to the vehicle is required on the day when the
part is installed, leave the vehicle for at least 1 hour, and seal the double-sided tape attached
portions with tape or the like to prevent water intrusion.
(Do not perform a high-pressure or automatic car wash on the day when the part is installed.)
When performing an air blow after the installation of the part, keep the nozzle 300 mm or
more away from the part. If it is too close, the surface of the part may be peeled off.
8. After installi ng the part, leave it for 2 to 3 hours, and do not drive the vehicle.
