Today i got mail, the postman had my zx-spoiler to be mounted on the top of the tailgate (correct?)
tried it but i have no exact idea of how to connect it...
anyone did that? perhaps with pics?

The zx top-spoiler has got holes for fitting. But these holes are no way getting near a place for fitting. Have to do that otherwise...but how

Most likely you will have to either bond it or screw it from behind through th etailgate as these spoiler sit at the top of the glass part of the tailgate.

Use the kit they normally use for placing windows.
But be sure you like it, 'cause it will be very difficult to remove!!!

Dunno about that one, but the 16v one is much bigger and bolts through the rear window like a Saxo mk2.

i know
almost 50% of the stuff i put on my bx is kitted with this. works fine!
Will try to fit the spoiler this afternoon. Saw that the thingy to spray water on the backwindow is in the way....i would like to keep this original so it will take some improvising. But that's my midlle name
Bolting through the window is no option i geuss, have no idea of how to do that. The top of the spoiler is too thin for screws. It has to look perfect otherwise i will not do it
