Helpful Expert Reply:
Since there are no specific instructions on how to install the Support Strap # 18050 you can get a little creative.
If you are afraid of damaging the spoiler on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf then I recommend installing the clip part of the strap in the bottom side of the trunk as you can see another customer did in the attached photo.
