1. pop off the pannel on the bottom of the hatch (take your time and try not to brake the plastic pins which hold the pannel)
2. unhook the 3rd brake light.
3. unbolt 4 bolts (2 on each side)
4. take off the old wing.
5. unbolt the 3rd brake light from it's housing.
6. trace the wire for the 3rd brake light through the new wing. and hook it up.
7. RKSports wing comes with it's own bolts and matches the hols on the hatch. Bolt them in. Be careful not to over tight them.
8. pop the plastic pannel back in under the hatch.
9 screw in the 3rd b.l. back to a housing. (mine didn't feet well)

10. ENJOY

What else are you looking for Adam? I thought Cats answered everything pretty good. If you are wondering about the screws, then I would just say try the ones you take out before you mount the wing, just don't strip any threads...

Cats is right on how to replace the factory wing with a new one. But I think what phatem84 has is a add on peice like the three peice on the RS's!!! Sorry I am not sure how to put that one on but maybe this will clear some things up!!!

I agree... It probably attaches similar to the RS style spoilers. Just find out how those ones attach. I just hope it's not 3M sticky tape

yes cats did explain very well how to replace the factory wing....HOWEVER, i have a spoiler that mounts on top of the factory wing (as Paul mentioned, simlilar to the RS wing)

sorry I should have made that more clear.....there are holes on the inderside of the wing for screws to go into, they need to go through the factory spoiler and into the new one.....shouldnt the body shop be able to measure the deapth of the hole and the width of the spoiler, and figure it out? I dont understand why they are having so many problems with it

tanks again guys

Hell I would call RK Sport and have them tell you. They sold it to ya and it should be their responsibility to tell you how to put it on.
