TRUNK SPOILER INSTALLATION MANUAL Precautions 1. Be sure to observe the content in CAUTION for installation described in the main text during the work. Neglecting it may cause dropping of or peeling-off on the part, and also may prevent the vehicle from functioning. 2. Before the installation, turn the ignition switch to OFF, and apply the parking brake without fail. 3. Do not use thinner or the like, otherwise the surface of the trunk spoiler may be corroded. Also, keep the spoiler away from fire, otherwise it may be deformed. 4. When the ambient temperature is 15°C or lower, warm up all strips of the double-sided tape and around the installation portion of the trunk panel to approximately 30 to 50°C using a dryer or infrared lamp. Local warming may deform the part. Do not use an industrial dryer. 5. Firmly press the double-sided tape to adhere well. If it is reattached, the adhesive performance will extremely decrease. To avoid redoing, position the tape correctly before attachment. 6. The adhesive strength of the double-sided tape increases gradually after the attachment. Do not wash the vehicle within 24 hours after attaching the part. When washing the vehicle or applying wax to the vehicle is required on the day when the part is attached, leave the vehicle for at least 1 hour, and seal the double-sided tape attached portions with tape or the like to prevent water intrusion. (Do not perform a high-pressure or automatic car wash on the day when the part is installed.) 7. When performing an air blow after the installation of the part, keep the nozzle 300 mm or more away from the part. If it is too close, the surface of the part may be peeled off. 8. After installing the part, leave it for 2 to 3 hours, and do not drive the vehicle. 9. When a body coating treatment (glass coating, etc.) is applied, the original adhesive strength cannot be exerted. Check if the body coating treatment is applied. Also, remove any dirt or fat and oil from the part installation position on the vehicle without fail, and press fit the part with sufficient force. <Removal and check method for body coating film> – Using compound with fine particles (in order not to impair painting), scrub off the coating film in the application area. – After grinding, sprinkle water using a spray or the like. If the area is no longer water-repellent, the coating film has been removed. Sold by: SUBARU CORPORATION This manual describes how to install and handle the trunk spoiler. Before installing the part, please be sure to read this manual for proper installation. 􃸰 Template set (E7210VC206) E7210VC300 57529VC020 57529VC030 E7210VC206 E7210VC205 E7210VC200 E7210VC300 With torsion bars, for vehicles without a factory spoiler E7210VC200 Without torsion bars, for vehicles a factory spoiler Trunk spoiler Nut Bolt Clip Template R Template L Instruction Manual Protection seal set (a set of 2 stickers) *1 THSN BAR RH THSN BAR LH Part No. １ ① ② ③ ④ ２ ２２ ⑤ Repair part No.: Parts set (E7210VC205): ②×2, ③×2, ④×2 Template set (E7210VC206): ⑤×1, ⑥×1 ⑥ １１ ⑩ １ Trunk spoiler with torsion bars (E7210VC300) Trunk spoiler (E7210VC200) ① Parts set (E7210VC205) Trunk spoiler ⑦ ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ② ⑧ １ ⑨ １ ⑦ １ ⑧ *1: The protection seal set is used only for the installation work to a vehicle with a factory trunk spoiler.
