I am sure this has been addressed before, but does anyone have any pics or info on the DIY installation of an OEM rear spoiler for the hatchback?
I am referring to the one available for sale on the Hyundai Parts online site.
Is it doable by yourself?


Thanks,

Val Barone

I was too chicken to do mine myself, so I had the dealer install it....

Doh! 5 door my bad! Just got in from working overnight and need some sleep! lol

Even though it's for the GLS, the DIY above and the DIY on our DIY area should give you the basic steps to installing the spoiler. http://www.elantraxd.com/DIY/oemspoiler.php

Someone with a hatch can chime in here to point out any differnces.

I installed mine (the factory black lip-mount one, not the painted higher wing style one). There's no point in publishing pics of it, though, since it looks just like the dealer did it.

It's very easy -- it took me ~30 minutes even with double and triple-checking my alignment before drilling. Just make sure you've got the template taped to the hatch in exactly the right place, as shown by the tabs on the template and in the instructions.
