Has anyone been brave enough to drill a tailgate to fit the clips im crapping my self

i have this as a hole drilling guide



One would assume its measured with glass in place as the spoiler fits over it

Would anyone be so kind as to double check before i start ie is it defo 5mm up from the rubber as thats mighty close

Took the plunge made a start, first clip in spoiler slips on and lines up with ridges left in existing glass rubber phew, 1 down 5 to go. If it works itll go in the guides, if not ill put myself in the troll bin.

PS CS sticker wont be there for long

I think the bigger holes were drilled to take a screw so ignore them

Yeah spolier has been bodged. Getting the spiler on is ok, just need to push it hard. Its getting it off that is hard. I assume you have some tape to apply to the spoiler?
