M-Tec spoiler retrofit
Hi all!
What's the best way to mark & drill the holes in my bootlid to fit my M-tec spoiler?

Any errors you make will be hidden by the spoiler anyway.

LOL! I know the old "hold it in place and give it a thump!" trick. Just thought there was another way!

There probably is, but who cares?Originally Posted by E34-520iSE
My spoiler came off by accident when some big men were pushing me out of the snow. I was aghast at how much the installers had messed stuff up, but it doesn't matter because it's all hidden.

Tried and true method.....
Take some 2" masking tape and lay a few strips onto the painted surface of the deck lid/boot, and firmly press the spoiler down against the tape ...hard enough to leave impressions into the tape, it may require a few layers of tape to raise up into the spoilers holes.
Be precise. Then use a 1/8" drill bit to begin the holes as a pilot. Proceed from there with the final size drill bit diameter.It's ALWAYS a good idea to use some "dum dum" putty or similiar sealant before you commit the bolt down.
Best of luck.....its always worked for me precisely.
