This document compiles information regarding the removal and replacement of the rear air spoiler (containing the rear wiper assembly) on a vehicle.
Problem
The rear air spoiler has been damaged, requiring repair or replacement. The high cost of replacement from official dealerships is a concern.
Solution
Several options exist:
- Plastic Welding: If the damage is a clean break, plastic welding the shroud may be a viable repair option.
- Partsouq.com: Source a replacement spoiler assembly from online retailers like Partsouq.com. Partsouq requires the VIN to confirm correct parts.
- A replacement spoiler from this source was quoted at $621 AUD (excluding shipping), significantly less than dealership pricing.
- Warranty Claim: If the vehicle is under extended warranty, pursue a warranty claim for repair or replacement, especially if the dealership initially claims the part is unavailable.
Relevant Parts & Specifications
- Color Matching: “Aussie Glacier White” may be equivalent to “Super White 2, 040”. Further research is recommended to confirm this. Websites such as touchuppaints.com.au and iinet.net.au (see transcript) can be helpful in determining colour code equivalencies.
