Tailgate spoiler adjustment.

I have noticed That the corners of my tailgate spoiler we’re rubbing on the C pillar covers.....

So it’s out with the 🔧 and see if I can figure out how to adjust them

It turns out it’s dead easy. much more so than on the 322. Infact LR have built in an adjustment mechanism for us to have a fiddle. Here’s How.

Pull out the retaining plug in the hinge cover.

Remove the hinge cover.

Using a 13mm socket slacken off the 13mm retaining nuts. But don’t remove them. There is no need, just wind them out a few turns to the end of the bolt.

Using an E7 reverse torx socket wind the inner bolt either in or out depending on whether you want to raise or lower the spoiler.

Close lid and check and redo a bit more if needed.

Tighten everything up and put it back together. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

That would have been useful.....😂

Took about 10 mins was about to take it off then spotted the ends of the bolts were splines. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Great thread, thanks

Re-aligned mine this afternoon, then spent hours polishing out the scratches on the C trim

Thanks northernmonkeyjones !!!
Now I know more than my official RR garage.
...already hate thinking about the polishing work.

How nice to have this forum! How stupid to need a forum for a car of that value...
