I am going to get the rear spoilers for my Vibe. I find its much cheaper to get that sports package in sections with my GM discount then it would have been to pay for it when I bought the car. I can get both spoilers through my parts department at the dealership for about $600 canadian and thats also painted.But how do they get installed? I can get the parts ordered but my parts department has no illustrations on how they are attached. Any knowledge or ideas out there? I want to install them myself.Thanks ahead of time.

Did you ever buy the spoilers and figure out how they get installed?

No I haven't, was thinking of getting just the upper one. But was just doing some research before hand... obviously no one knows lol. I looked on the GM tech site I have access to at work. Unfortunatly it assumes you are just removing it and reinstalling it so it isn't to specific.I want to buy the whole sports appearance package in pieces, paint and then install.

If I recall correctly, it's difficult to install them...you have to drill and line things up and stuff...waaaaay to detail-oriented for me...i'd let the dealer do it...so if they F up, they have to pay to correct it.

Each spoiler bolt on with a few bolts. You must drill holes in the rear hatch to bolt the spoilers on. The kit comes with gromets that cover the holes that give access to the bolts.

Do you have to drill anything? I'm not interested in the mid hatch spoiler yet... I do know that one would require some drilling... I'll let my body shop install that one if I go that route later.
