Hi,

I'm wishing to retrofit the optional large GLT rear spoiler to my '88 360 GLE hatch. It appears to be secured to left and right sides of the tailgate with two bolts each side, plus one bolt in the centre, in line with the 3rd rear brake light/boot lock (therefore five in total). Inside the tailgate I can see two little 'cut outs' each side which will be where the holes have to go, however this appears as four 'caps' which seem to be welded on, and with no such one in the centre.

I've looked at pics of cars with the rear spoiler so fitted, but obviously as this involves drilling through metalwork, I cannot afford to mess it up. Could anyone advise as to the best way to go forward with this, measurements between bolt holes for drilling etc?

Thanks
