    Hmm, this is interesting, I've seen many spoilers and they haven't looked good on wagons, sedans yes. And a few utes with hard tops. I agree with deanos70 I would like to see photos when/if you put it on.

    Cheers.

    Technically not a spoiler - it's a dust deflector. I've fitted one to my wagon and it was a pain in the rear to do. I made a template of it so I knew where to drill. You have some leeway with the end but the two supports in the middle of the deflector, however, you will need to be spot on with your drilling.

    Thanks Seraphic

    your right i should have said a dust deflector instead of spoiler
    sounds like it might be a bit tricky

    did you drill the 2 mount supports in the middle first or the end ones first

    cheers

    have you noticed much of a difference on the rear window once it was fitted

    I drilled the middle mounts first. I had a friend help me with this. Just make sure it is where you want it before drilling - gaffer tape it to the tailagte so it doesn't move. I also suggest drilling a small pilot hole first. If it is in the right spot you can always drill larger.

    From inside you will never notice it but it does create a tiny bit more shade for the rear cabin area. Externally you will notice it, but it is not so grandiose that it looks out of place. I don't regret putting it on.
