I had the rear pans off my car yesterday to check on stuff (all OK) and thought I would check the tightness of the screws holding on the front spoiler. I noted that there are two kinds of screws - across the back are torx screws identical to those holding the rear pans on, but along the front are heavier screws with hex/slotted heads.
Checking the workshop manual for the torque for the screws, it specifies (page 501-02-10) 27 Nm (20 ft-lbs) for all of them. This cannot possibly be correct, because the torx screws on the rear are only tightened to 62 in lbs (5.2 ft-lbs). :confused
So: what are the correct torque settings for the chin spoiler screws (both kinds)?
