Adjustment dimensions of the bumper






NOTE:
- In order to reduce adjustment work to a minimum when assembling the rear spoiler, the rear bumper or centre retaining strip must be aligned with the lower edge of the rear lid according to the dimensions shown above.
- However, the precondition for precise positioning of the components is that the rear lid is optimally adjusted and correctly locked in the lock in accordance with the joining plan, before the rear bumper or centre retaining strip are assembled.
- All measurements refer to the position -V = ±260 mm-.

1. Adjust the rear lid according to the joining plan.
2. Adjust the rear bumper -8, 8A- on both sides to dimension -Y = 140 mm-. The measurements can be changed by undoing or moving the impact pipes or impact absorbers (USA version).
3. Adjust the centre retaining strip -5- according to dimension -X = 147 mm-.

Correct assembly of the heat shields






CAUTION: Damage will result if heat shields are fitted incorrectly! Observe the following points during assembly!

- Make sure the heat shields overlap correctly.
- There should not be any continuous gaps along the entire length of the heat shields.
- A gap of up to 2 mm wide and 30 mm long is permissible locally.
- At least more than 80 % of the total sealing area must be sealed off without gaps.
- The following minimum gap dimensions must be observed.

NOTE:
- All measurements refer to the position -V = ±260 mm-.
- Measuring axis for dimension W in the extension of the lower retaining strip.

1. After assembly of the rear spoiler, check that there is a gap dimension -W >.50 mm- between the shield of the exhaust system -24- and the lower retaining strip -25-. Check heat shield projection -Z = 0 - 4 mm-.

1. After assembly of the rear spoiler, check that there is a gap dimension of -W = min. 70 mm- between the shield of the exhaust system -24- and the lower retaining strip -25-. The dimension is measured diagonally upwards.

Removing and installing frame with heat shield

Removing the heat shield






- Unscrew collar nuts -1- and fastening screw -11-, remove the frame with heat shield -27-.

Installing the heat shield

- Position the frame with the heat shield -27- so that the clearance rib -arrow- rests against the retaining strip without gaps. Tighten the collar nuts -1- and fastening screw -11-.
