964 spoiler (repair)

[rich 36]

Hi
The car you all gave advice on buying recently,

Going great...

Now to tackle a couple of niggles.

The spoiler comprises a couple of large moving parts, not least a flexible air dam on the underside, whixh has been stuck together folllowing a rip occuring along its length some time.

Pelican offer a part as also do people like porsch-apart and its claimed to take only a few minutes to rplace in-situ.


Anyone swapped one before and how?

Cheers
Richard

I've done this before, and it's actually very simple. 10 minute job, even for a numpty like me ;-)

It's easier to understand once you've got the new part in front of you.

Briefly then,


What else needs taking off
Anything?

[robmug]

No - nothing else needs removing. You can get to both 'edges' with the spoiler raised. I remember seeing asll sorts of DIY write-ups before I changed mine, but when it came to doing mine, it was easy. Taking the old one off was almost as hard.

I can't actually remember fully (!), but I do remember it being MUCH easier than I was anticipating.

Essentially, the curtain clips on along both of its edges. I think I had to slide the old one off, but the new one is a push fit.

Don't suppose you remember where from do you?

Sutton Coldfield OPC. Ben (Parts manager) is a good bloke (ex 993 owner) and gives 10% PCGB discount.

I also did this, 10 min job, forget whether it was clip in or slide in but was very easy, there is a how to on www.porsche964.co.uk on the tech pages.

Must say I noticed no handling or cooling benefit having done it though!

[rich 36]

Dunno' but it MUST chuck a load of fresh air over the fan when moving surely,

[wildoliver]

probably does, but doesn't seem to make much difference.

£56 + VAT less 10% PCGB discount from OPC - takes about 10 mins to fit. Clip the top on first - it's a lot easier that way. There's a thread on 911uk.com here - http://www.911ukforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=14176
