Replacing Spoiler

[97Boxsterian]

The spoiler of my Box is bended a little, I want to replace it. Is it a DIY job? I found a used spoiler for $150, is it a good deal? Have any one replaced it before? What kind of tool we need? I want to make sure I can replace it myself before I order it. Thanks.

I have not done this, but it seems to be pretty easy. I've seen where others have done it in a few minutes (unless you are talking about the posts that lift the spoiler too).

Oh my gosh, Tool Pants has worked on something like this (not really suprised )

Thank you all! I think I only need to replace the top off of my spoiler. I will go pick up the replacement this Saturday. I will let you guy know how it turns out next week.

The spoiler top is easy to replace. It is just three rivets. Be sure you go to your dealer and buy new ones before you do this because your current rivets will get damaged.
1) With the spoiler raised, remove the three rivets (facing the rear window). This can be done buy simply pushing the center of them with a large needle or spike.
2) Once the center of the rivets are pushed through, carefully remove the rest without scratching the paint.
3) Pull up and back on the spoiler until all the little clips( on the bottom rear facing ) have been released.

Use the above directions in reverse to put the new top on.

Thank everybody once again! I fixed my spoiler today, just the top part is not clipping the bottom metal part firmly so it looks bending upward. I clipped it back into the rail of the bottom part and now it looks fine! I will stop my order for the replacement. Save $150
