Fitting Overfinch rear roof spoiler for my 07 S/C

found one on Pistonheads - guy's offering to fit it quoting 'upper tailgate comes off, 4 10mm bolts, remove exsiting brake lense, swop the brake light lead connector, fit spoiler onto upper tailgate whist its off the car, malke sure its nice and secure, re-fit, quite straight forward'.

is it this simple and what about the rear facing camera - does that get affected or does is attach to the spoiler?

thanks

Should be a doddle.

The process is the same as when you need to get to the rear washer - undo 4 bolts, lift off brake light housing etc.

It's literally 4 bolts which are easy to get to with the boot open, then lift off the top section with the brake light in it, unplug and then the reverse the process to refit.

Do a search for how to repair the rear windscreen washer and you should find some pics I think... Thumbs Up Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

Ahhhh. You'll have to check with the seller about the camera - I would assume that if the spoiler has been designed properly, it will have a mounting bracket / holes for the camera and you'd just swap it over from your current spoiler to the new one.

If they haven't allowed for it then it's a big oversight as most L322s have a camera.

Can you get any pics of the new spoiler so you can check? Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...

i asked the seller whether it interferes with the camera and he says:

Good question, it doesn't as it sits above the camera without any modification or inconvenience. That is why Overfinch are the best Land Rover tuning company in the World. They are very clever and design these things with every item on Range Rovers in mind.

willl have a look this eve at where the camer is etc..

A quick search revealed some useful photographs of rear spoiler removal and camera changing http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic4621.html (but I don't know where the plug to the camera wires is).

If its a proper Overfinch spoiler then you have to remove your 3rd brake light and fit the spoiler in the same holes after fitting the brake light back into the same size and shape hole/recess in the spoiler... So a kind of piggy back affair if that makes sense... You'll need to remove the inner top trim panel that covers the wiper motor to unplug/replug all the wiring for the brake light and camera etc...
