Its been agez since i bought my spoiler and still trying to understand the installation instructions correctly.

the instructions i got from toyota are pretty bad photocopyz and the diagrams are hard to make any sense of and the template i got for it makes me nervous, as if i could easily drill the holes off centre coz i didnt lay the template perfectly.

ive only gotten as far as removing all the inside plastic panels around the rear window to take a sneak peek at what im up against and got the right size drill bitz to do the install, but havent got the gonadz to penetrate my rollaz backdoor.

i just wanna make sure i dont do the wrong thing!

has anyone got any experience in this area?

paying someone to get it done is not an option here.

thanx 4 your help in advance.

if you have got the template and afraid of making it off centred, then tape the template down, adjust till you are satisfied.(drilling a hole may get u off centred as well but it is marginal... the screws and spacers have already accounted for that.)

start your drilling cos even if you are off centred a little, just file it down a little, but u will see the exposed metal once drilled, if you are not cranky about it, use some paint to cover them down (in case it starts to rust after zillion years) then screw it in... there you go...... SPOILER :)

hope that helps!!

get a punch/nail and hit the exact centre of the hole in the template. Use a small drill, say 2.2/3mm, and drill where the small dint is, to go all the way through. then use your larger (correct size) drill to go through the hole. Stop the larger drill bit from 'wandering'.

Be confident, you will be fine. :)

i dont actually drill all the way through do i?

i mean after taking out the plastic panels theres another metal panel which makes it seems to be in the way.. do i drill through that too?

can anyone take pics of the spoiler connectionz from inside the car door with the plastic panels off?

if i know what its supposed to look like when its fully installed then i would be more confident.

Hey, I'd just like to give this thread a bump.

I just got a spoiler for my zze ascent and I was wondering if anyone could help provide me with info on how to install it or if you know anyone who would be able to do it.

Cheers.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
