Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for installing an exterior-mounted light bar accessory underneath a factory-installed rear spoiler on a liftgate of a vehicle while leaving intact the rear spoiler and a liftgate spoiler sealing system fitted and mounting components used during factory installation of the rear spoiler by attachment to the liftgate, the liftgate having a top side margin and the vehicle having a roof with a rear end, the rear spoiler mounted at the top side margin of the liftgate and at the rear end of the roof, and the liftgate having an outer surface with first and second curved distal ends.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 8 , in which, for each of the first and second light bar housings, the liftgate mounting surface is the surface of a bowed wall having first and second ends, and in which the light head mounting surface is the surface of a two-section wall that includes a straight section having a first end and an angled section having a second end, the first ends of the bowed wall and the straight section being joined and the second ends of the bowed wall and the angled section being joined to form an interior cavity, and in which plural wires extend from each of the multiple light heads and terminate in a different one of a set of first electrical connectors, and further comprising for each of the first and second light bar housings:\n attaching the multiple light heads to the light head mounting surface and laying in the interior cavity the plural wires extending from each of the multiple light heads; positioning one end of an electrical wire harness in the interior cavity, the electrical wire harness including, for each of the multiple light heads, a bundle of wires terminating in a set of second electrical connectors that are matable to corresponding ones of the set of first electrical connectors; connecting together corresponding pairs of the first and second matable electrical connectors and stowing them in the interior cavity; and passing the electrical harness through an opening at or proximal to a location where the second ends of the bowed wall and the angled section are joined, so that the electrical wire harness can be routed within the vehicle for electrical connection of the other end of the electrical wire harness to a main electrical wire harness that provides electrical signals to operate the multiple light heads.
