What should I pay attention to when installing W213 spoiler?
The W213 is the fifth generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, launched in 2016 and sold as a 2017 model. When installing the Mercedes-Benz W213 car spoilers, you need to consider multiple factors including legality, safety, installation process, etc. The following are the key points to note:
1. Legality and regulatory requirements
Confirm the legality of modification
Before modification, you need to consult the local vehicle management office to clarify whether the size and shape of the w213 tail wing comply with the regulations. For example, a rear tail wing spoiler that exceeds the width or height limit of the vehicle body may be deemed an illegal modification, resulting in a fine or failure of the annual inspection. It is recommended to choose a small tail-pressed tail wing (the gap between the main wing and the body does not exceed 2cm), and try to choose original or compliant accessories.
2. Spoiler selection and matching
Material and style adaptation
Material of spoiler: Carbon fiber is lightweight and strong, but the cost is high; aluminum alloy is corrosion-resistant and durable; ABS is economical but easy to age. You need to choose according to your budget and performance requirements.
Spoiler style: As a luxury car, Mercedes-Benz W213 is recommended to choose a ducktail or small spoiler tail wing that coordinates with the body lines to avoid exaggerated shapes that affect the appearance or increase wind resistance.

3. Installation method and process
Selection of installation method
Paste type: Use special glass glue or 3M glue, no need to punch holes, easy to operate, but ensure that the surface is clean (degrease thoroughly with alcohol) and avoid washing the car during the curing period (about one week).
Bolt fixing:
More secure, but requires drilling holes in the trunk lid. After drilling, apply silicone seal to prevent water leakage; tighten the screws from the inside when fixing to avoid damaging the paint.
4. Post-installation inspection and impact
Stability and security verification
After installing w213 rear spoiler, the stability during high-speed driving needs to be tested to ensure that the tail wing does not vibrate or make abnormal noise to avoid the risk of falling off.
