Volvo 850 rear spoiler mounting 850

I have recently acquired a second hand rear spoiler for my 96 850. Purchased a new set of mounting fiitings at the local dealer but apparently I'm to stupid to figure it out.
If anybody could supply me with a copy of the original mounting instructions it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you !

    Volvo 850 rear spoiler mounting 850

    All I see is it clamps around the trunk lid on the ends. There's also the brake light wiring, and the trunk lid support struts are heavier duty on the spoiler equipped 850's. You can tell dealer installed spoilers from factory installed spoilers because most dealer installed spoiler jobs still have the third eye brake light operating in the rear window, and its actually obstructed by the size of the spoiler. So if you get the spoiler installed properly with the brake light operating remember to disconnect the third eye brake light in the rear window or you get an irritating reflection off the spoiler from that light at night. That plug is actually used to power the spoiler's light anyway.
