Is the rear spoiler adjustable at all?

For those in the know I had water leak fixed by dealer and then the tailgate was not aligned properly so last week they re aligned the tailgate but the spoiler is not even gap both sides and also one side the spoiler is sat back from the roof curve instead of being flush? Regards

There is probably a little bit of side to side/back and forth adjustment once you loosen the bolts. You will probably break some of the clips when removing the inner tailgate trim though... .

Yes. There's quite a bit of movement in it. Takes a bit of trial and error to get the alignment correct.

Ah that’s good to know. Thanks guys.

I was worried that it was a fixed alignment as there is fixed slots it slots into right?

If that’s the case it may be better for me to adjust it rather than Land Rover with there track record. Regards

Yup, no need to remove plastic inner, bolt access easy enough with a socket

Care to share the knowledge buddy?

I want to move spoiler a touch to the left and forward a little one side. Regards

Open upper tailgate fully. Look between upper window trim and body. You will see 3 galvanised head hex bolt heads, one in centre, one each side. Loosen them them to adjust spoiler until washer on each is loose. Close tailgate and grasp rear edge of spoiler to move in or out. For side to side you may need to combine with in and out to work it across. If you take out one of the bolts you can see the relative size of adjustment hole and threaded hole which will give you an idea how much you can move it in any direction. When you are done open the tailgate and tighten the bolts. Previously a 2008MY Tonga Green Vogue SE 3.6 TDV8

Thanks for this.

Under what circumstances regarding the spoiler would you need to remove the inner trim? Regards

You would only need to access the inner trim if you were removing the spoiler as the reverse camera and 3rd brake light wiring plugs are inside the inner cover...

If you only want to adjust it then as above, remove/loosen the three 10mm headed bolts and wiggle it around... That said, the spoiler is on two plastic sliding pegs fore and aft so im not sure how much sideways movement you'll get? Suck it & see im thinking

In my experience only either to maintain/repair the rear wash/wipe motor and pipes, or to deal with aspects of the wiring if you need to replace the reversing camera with an aftermarket one.
The trim can be bit fragile where the fastening clips hold it in place. Sometimes the lugs break off. Previously a 2008MY Tonga Green Vogue SE 3.6 TDV8
