hey what's up guys today we're doing a spoiler install on a 2019 volkswagen tiguan
to begin the install we're gonna start by prepping the surface uh in order to have the tape adhere
properly and then after we clean the surface we're gonna go over to the wing the spoiler itself
and we're gonna clean off all this tape the oil hey guys we have to pause the video just
to appreciate the paint job we did on this spoiler this is cleaner than most people's house mirrors
that's on it and then we're going to be laying brand new 3m double-sided molding tape
on and then placing the wing on and then holding it in place

so we're gonna start by cleaning off all of this um it's the old tape that was
on it it's really not that bad just get it rolling i guess you can kind of push it off
all the remaining stuff that's left you can take off with goo-gone
how long does it normally take this to remove the glue i just don't think like spoiler installed
30 45 minutes maybe an hour at most
now this is a fresh wing with no glue it wouldn't take that long or no tape residue to remove
so we got as much of the sticky stuff as we could so now we're gonna be using spray some
on a little paper towel and i usually just do a quick wipe down kind of pat it on heavier areas
now that's been sitting here for a little bit it's time to start scrubbing it off
all right so after we use the glue gun it needs a little bit of greasy residue so we're
going to use some dawn dish soap of water spray it on a rag and kind of wipe it down
get kind of all the grease off so now we're using surface prep cleaner
sit on there
just trying to make sure we have the best surface for the double-sided sticky tape to
stay on so if it's not clean it's not going to stay on it may not stay on as well what's up man
we're going to move on to
as well as down here
all right so now we're going to be installing the spoiler on here
first uh i'd like to at least put it up there to kind of like mock test fit it
so obviously this is a oem volkswagen piece so everything lines up pretty much perfectly
so that's the way it's essentially going to sit do it on this corner
so by doing this as well i can see where all the coverage areas are
for when we re-tape it so i'm going to be taping
all on the inside of this surface all on the inside of this surface and on both corners
so as you can see i'll be putting tape here all along here all along the inside
okay so now we're gonna be laying the tape along these surfaces these surfaces are
prepped and clean before we started so here we go
so
smoothing it out making sure it sticks on the spoiler surface we have no air bubbles underneath
it kind of bunched up right here so i didn't like how that laid out
another test fitting make sure we don't have any weird gaps
so what's next so now we peel off
can you line it up
um
i think you're gonna have to do it
all right so as you can see we now have the boiler installed
um i put some tape on here kind of push the spoiler up
taped around the edges to pull it up and just kind of keep it set in place for the next 24
hours or so ideally i'd like to have it with the trunk open and gravity kind of setting down
kind of like this nothing to see here epa uh but yeah see you have just basically sits like that
and gravity doing its work but since he's gonna have to be driving this car we're gonna have it
closed we advise him to leave it taped up for the next 24 hours or so and let it set
