Spoiler Removal and Replace

Looks like I'm getting myself an SS spoiler!

Is there a site for removing and replacing the spoiler?

Can anyone offer any suggestions or pointers?

I should be receiving it by this next Friday (11/15), so I'll be putting it on that weekend.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, in advance!

Just take off the plastic from the hatch and there should be four bolts there. Ive never done it myself but it shouldnt be hard at all.

Cool

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. New wing usualy 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

Thanks again for the instructions! Got the spoiler installed today! I was able to find a nice OEM 96-97 SS Spoiler already painted black! Went on pretty easy.

I'm glad you told me about the not breaking the plastic pins. I didn't break a one!
