The Blaine Fabrication rear spoiler is on the car and we now have rear deck pins to hold the hatch shut.
Picture 58 is where I laid out some (almost straight) lines on the hatch to line up the spoiler.
Picture 60 shows that I laid out the mounting location, then called Alan and then moved it. That explains all off the bolt holes that I have marked out. Oops.
Picture 61 shows that you should use a straight edge to make sure you don't have the spoiler bent, tweeked or otherwise twisted before you mark and drill the holes.
Remove the hatch latch plate and the electric hatch mechanisim, center punch your holes and start drilling (once you've checked and re-checked and are sure that everything is lined up).
Picture 108 shows that the 3rd gen hatch should use 4 long bolts on the hatch (two on each end), but, if you drill through the bottom skin with a #3 Unibit, you can stick a deep well socket in there and use the short bolts. So, that's what I did.
Picture 109 shows the mounting plate and hardware after it's bolted into place.
Picture 110 shows the spoiler once it's been bolted down.
Picture 111 shows where I mounted the rear hatch pins.
Picture 112 is the bottom of the hatch where the pins are mounted.
Picture 114 shows where the pins are in relation to the spoiler.
Picture 119 shows the hatch pins installed and complete.
All of which explains why there is still interior stuff in this car right now. I've been busy doing other things.
