Tesla Model 3/Y Aftermarket Spoiler Installation Guide

How to Install a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y Spoiler

Tools Required:

• Measuring tape
• Heat gun
• Soft microfiber cloth

Materials Needed:

• Automotive-grade 3M body tape
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Gaffer tape
• ScotchBlue painter's tape

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Surface:

   • Clean the paint surface using isopropyl alcohol to remove any particles or bumps from the paintwork.                                                                                                                                                   

2. Position the Spoiler:

   • Place the spoiler on the vehicle without peeling the mounting tape.
   • Position the spoiler until it is perfectly centered.
   • Use painter's tape to hold the spoiler in place at several spots.                           

3. Warm up the Surface:

   • If the temperature of the paint surface is below 25 degrees Celsius, use a heat gun to warm it up to around 30-40 degrees Celsius.                                                             

4. Stick the Ends Down:

   • Peel a small amount of the adhesive double-sided tape on each end of the spoiler.
   • Place the spoiler within the tape markings.                                                                                          

5. Remove the Adhesive Tape:

   • Firmly press and slowly peel the mounting tape across the entire spoiler.                                                                                                                                                   

6. Tape Down and Warm Up to Activate the Glue:

   • Tape down the spoiler securely.
   • Gently heat up the spoiler using the heat gun to activate the glue and ensure maximum long-term adhesion.
   • Wait at least 2 hours and then remove the tape.                                                                                       

7. Finishing Up:

   • Remove the gaffer tape that was holding the spoiler tightly.
   • Wipe down any marks or residue from the tape using a soft microfiber cloth.                                                                                                                                   

Note: If there is a section of the spoiler that is not sticking down properly, use the heat gun to soften the glue and tightly gaffer tape that section down.
