Re: Adding OEM spoiler
.
in 1992, the OEM rear spoiler was an option, and added by the dealer prior to delivery. Here are the instructions.
The dealer-installed spoiler instructions tell you to drill a 1/4" (6mm) hole from the underside of the trunk through the top and then drill a 1/2" (13mm) hole from the top back down. Actually, the instructions gave the drill sizes in mm, but this is approximated.
Be careful not to drill into your car's body if you have the lid closed to drill the 1/2" hole. You can place a scrap of wood under the trunk when You lower it in case the drill bit goes through too far.
Some members have moved their spoilers back approximately 2” back farther. If you already have a spoiler installed, the holes can be plugged with plastic plugs or with silicone sealer.
The part number for the 4 nuts that hold the spoiler on is 902600009
A thin ribbon of strip “rope” caulk is installed around the two holes in the top of the trunk lid prior to mounting the spoiler. This keeps water from entering the holes, as it spreads and compresses when the spoiler is tightened down.
I personally think it looks sleeker without the spoiler. Sealing and filling the holes and refinishing is a lot more expensive (almost $1000). More faithful to the original design.
