Default Vorsteiner rear spoiler

Has anyone put one of these on a 991 ? I just had mine delivered and there are no instructions in the box. Looks like it might take another set of hands to help hold it in place to get the double sided tape just right. I have seen where other people have put them on a car; but no one talking about the procedure.
Thanks for the help..

I've heard setting pieces like this in place and pulling the paper off the double sided tape works best as its in place. Like pull one edge off so you can start there while another person helps hold it in place.

Taking the backing off all at once and trying to put it in the perfect spot in one shot is tough. Usually only get one chance.

I'd also put blue painters tape around the perimeter on the car as a guide before doing the tape.

Please keep us posted.

Would love to see photos of both the install and the end product. Good luck!

Not sure what it looks like, but I recently did two swaps of a lip spoiler with my M5. Like STG said, the one sided tape method works well, it allows you to remove it quickly and easily if you don't set it correctly right away.

Set it where it should go w/o adhesive, mark it off with painters tape, then apply with another set of hands peeling the adhesive label from one side to the other.

Once set, I would tape it down with some weight on top overnight to let it fully grip, especially if in a cold area.

I will mark the sides with painters tape. I am going to let my space heater run awhile in the garage before applying the tape. I will take some pics...
