Abstract
A spoiler is attached to a decorative covering member of a vehicle. The decorative covering member has a first C-shaped cross section opening toward a center of the vehicle. The covering member is located adjacent to a portion of a body of the vehicle and attached to the vehicle by a bracket. The spoiler has a second C-shaped cross section opening toward the center of the vehicle and sized to overlay the first C-shaped cross section of the covering member. A space is formed between the covering member and the portion of the body by inserting a portion of the spoiler into the space while deforming the bracket. The spoiler is attached to the covering member using double-sided adhesive tape and nut and bolt combinations.
