Does it really fit? The trunk is shaped different on the ce compared to the sedans and so it doesnt usually fit right. If it does, use epoxy or double sided 3M tape.

There are two versions availble, one for the coupe and one for the sedan. So assuming he has the correct version, installation consists of double sided 3m tape and a bead of silicone to seal the outter edges against any moisture getting under the duck tail and loosening the tape.
