jus got myself a black spoiler with the light off ebay! wondering if anyone can direct me to where it gives me instructions on how install a spoiler.
this is the spoiler:




also if anyone knows the part number of or any information on this shifter:

i like the wood trim that it has. mine is all plain black.

i think those spoilers have clamps that just clamp to the trunk, no drilling

and anyone with VADIS could find the part number for the shifter
you'll have to replace the WHOLE SHIFTER unit however...not just the shifter itself

well the spiler still has wiring that needs to be done! thats why i need instructions.
i saw it somewhere b4 but i was up all night surching for it again and could not find that thread-forgot where it was anyone know of the thread im talking about? or anywhere that gives instructions on how the wiring and install goes?

as for the shifter, i need to replace the whole thing??? i cant jus take off the one i have from where it sits? or open the sifter and disasembel it from inside and add the new one? -but if its gonna be a PITA to do then i think i would pass on that
...sorry my cars in the shop getting new springs put on-so i cant use my car to go look at and find out.

anyone with VADIS wanna help me out plez?

you just want a non wood grain shift knob on an automatic?

no i have the non wood shift knob on my auto. i want the wood grain one-since the inside of my car has wood trim...but the shifter is plain back.
thought it would be a nice match to the wood trim on the dash. but thats JUS A WANT.

I NEED DIRECTIONS ON WIRING THE SPOILER. haha help !

when I installed my spoiler, I just spliced the lines into the wires for a brake light, either the 3rd brake light or whatever. As far as mounting the spoiler, it just clips on (assuming they give you all the proper hardware). I didn't get everything I needed to mount mine, so I had to fab up some crap on my own.


side question- Does anyone know how much an 850 spoiler mounting kit (if such a thing exists) is @ the dealer?

[850Tu2bo]

i would call the dealer and ask if they had such a think but, after calling 3 dealers around my house and the ppl in the parts dep. where so stupid it took them like 20 min to find one simple thing ...and i had explain things that they should know....why does volvo hire ppl that know nothing about what there sopose to know?

hope mine come with all i need to instal it.
i think ill look around and see if i can find the Instal Instructions for the spoiler..i swear there was one b4 i started posting...lol

from the dealer the spoiler comes installed w/ a clamp on each end (kind of a clip actually), and some sort of 3M double-sided foam stick tape under each contact area between the spoiler and trunk. I just bought my spoiler off ebay last summer, and that's how I installed it.

I'll take a look in my trunk to see how I wired it exactly, and if it's different from what I posted, I'll snap some pics to clear it up.

[850Tu2bo]

hmmm sounds good. thanks

[jroot]

There is two clips (4 torx screws) and 3 pieces of 3M double sided tape that comes with the spoiler kit...I think I was price quoted $31? something like that...might of been 40? (www.bostonvolvo.com go to parts and send them an e-mail you get a 15% discount and they do ship..)

As far as the wiring for the spoiler brake light, underneath the trunk carpet (the above part that actually flies open) you'll find a yellow connector, you just put the two little connectors from the spoiler wiring to into that connector and it works fine....you can also get rid of the 3rd brake light in the inside of the car (rear deck) and have no problems with the dash bulb out light coming on...
