97 850 wagon spoiler mounting brackets same as 98 v70?

Post by dairyqueen814 »

Just like the title says,

It says the mounting brackets for a spoiler on an 850 are no longer available, however the ones for a 98 v70 are $12 a piece. Does anyone know if they are the same fitment? or will I run in to issues? Thanks!

I had helped gravity to keep our pavement down while painting the green one white.
The answer is yes. The same size hatch.

The spoiler from ebay was Green. I had used Jack Stands to be able to paint it.

I believe I had bought them from TASCA..
Give it a try. The complete kit was around $42.
I found it well worth it. It is very sturdy and adjustable.
I think it is in my maintenance log. ''86 Turbo Wagon White.
1993 850 GLT , You wouldn't know it.
1996 850 Turbo Wagon White.
1995 T-5R Black. New work in progress.
