A3 - Yes, installing aftermarket spoilers is easy, our Tesla Model Y spoiler that are designed with user-friendly installation. It comes with everything you need, including extra 3M tape and positioning stickers to help ensure a secure and accurate fit. To make the installation even more reliable, we recommend using the included adhesive activator to ensure a strong bond between the spoiler and your vehicle. The process is straightforward, and with the proper tools, you can complete the installation without professional assistance.
Our carbon fiber spoiler use high-quality adhesive backing, which makes installation relatively simple. You just need to align the spoiler with the designated spots on your car’s trunk or rear hatch, peel off the adhesive backing, and firmly press the spoiler into place. Typically, this can be done in under half an hour with proper alignment. No drilling or modification of the car is needed.
As you can see in the tutorial below. It's a no-punch installation and is firmly mounted.
Installation Steps:
1. Clean the Surface: Ensure that the area where you will be installing the spoiler is clean and free of any dirt, wax, or debris. You can use a mild cleaning solution to clean the surface thoroughly. This ensures a better bond for the adhesive.
2. Mark the Placement: Before applying the spoiler, mark the exact placement using masking tape. This will serve as a guide during the installation. Additionally, use the provided positioning stickers to help you correctly align the spoiler in the desired position.
3. Test Fit: Before removing any adhesive backing, do a test fit of the spoiler to make sure it aligns properly with the markings and positioning stickers. Adjust as needed to ensure a perfect fit.
4. Apply Adhesive Promoter: Before peeling off the adhesive backing, apply the provided adhesive promoter to the surface where the 3M tape will make contact. This will enhance the adhesion, ensuring a stronger and more secure bond between the spoiler and the vehicle.
5. Peel Off Adhesive Backing: Once you're satisfied with the placement, start peeling off the adhesive backing gradually. Avoid touching the adhesive to prevent contamination. To achieve a stronger bond, we recommend gently heating the double-sided adhesive with a hair dryer or lighter (ensure the temperature does not exceed 40°C/104°F).
6. Press Firmly: Once the adhesive is exposed, press the spoiler firmly onto the surface. Apply even pressure across the entire surface to ensure a secure bond. Press for 20-30 seconds or more. It's recommended to let the surface stay dry for 48 hours for the best firming result.
7. Double-Check Alignment: After installation, double-check the alignment to ensure it meets your satisfaction. Make any final adjustments if needed before the adhesive fully sets.
Important Tips:
- Additional 3M Tape: If the provided 3M tape is not enough for the full installation, feel free to use the extra 3M tape included in the package to ensure a secure bond.
- Use Adhesive Promoter for Stronger Bonding: For a more secure attachment, we recommend pairing the provided adhesive promoter with the 3M tape to enhance the bond strength.
- Fixing Edges: If you experience any issues with the edges lifting or not adhering properly, it may be due to improper installation. Use the provided positioning stickers to adjust and ensure the spoiler is properly aligned and pressed firmly against the surface.
