Default Installing roof spoiler......Quick Question

I'm about to install my roof spoiler and was just curious if you line it up with the top edge of the back glass (would have slight gap between roof and spoiler) or make it flush with the roof (no gap between roof and spoiler)? Anybody got an answer. I'd assume it's lined up with the glass, in case you need to remove or replace the glass? Make any sense?

not so sure what you are trying to say but the top of your roof spoiler goes along the top of the glass. shouldn't be any gap unless it bad fitment.

line it up to edge of glass, let the sealed area show so water and other crap can get out easier...it you put it over that space, your roof spoiler won't be sitting all on the glass, more chance of it lifting off!
