Re: Duckbill wing installation (eg_ko_2)
Open up your hatch and unbolt the stock wing, there's four bolts, 2 on each side, under the glass. Unplug your factory 3rd brake light harness. Line up the new wing, and loosely put the four bolts on. Close the hatch a few times to test the clearance on it, want to make sure it lines up evenly, but more important, make sure it doesn't scrape your roof when you open it. Once you're satisfied, tighten the bolts and you're done.
note: if it doesn't seem to fit right, you may have to bust out a Dremel or drill to widen the holes on the factory hinges, I've seen this more than once with Spoon knock offs.

) and definately had to bust out a dremel to make it fit. The holes were off by atleast a cm...I hope you have a dremel handy, just in case
