when i took mine off for the first time, i used an old credit card and worked around the edges picking and cutting at the adhesive. do that a while, and then just give it a nice pull. afterwards your going to need some goof-off to get off the remaining adhesive.

I just took mine off yesterday. It has 2 bolts on both side and one in the middle. I notice there is double sided tape once i took it off. you just gotta find something like a knife to cut through the adhesive like celicast did.

they dont come off easily at all. i took off 2 spoiler off of 2 gt's and both wasnt easy to take off. its just the adhesive that is difficult to work with.

I took the spoiler off my hatch a couple days ago. it was real easy. I just opened the hatch, removed the two bolts on each side, took off the big plastic piece on the interior of the trunk to remove the other bolt on each side and it came right off! a little dirty underneath, but no there was no adhesive stuff...

im guessing the oem 2-post spoiler came without adhesive and the oem 3-post spoiler came with adhesive.
all you need to do is use goo-remover and use a fine fishing line to slowy slice it off... try not using sharp tools since you'll just be damaging the boot -R -------------------- ROM-23L 67 + 76 = 143

I'm having the same problem won't come off Holy 7 year necrobump Batman! The spoiler is held down with 2-3 bolts pert side. Can be founder under the trunk plastics. Also super strong double sided foam tape. after you are certain the bolts are all out and there is just the tape- pick a side and give an easy but FIRM tug. should come up after a bit. after one side is off carefully raise the loose side to aid in breaking the bond , CAREFUL not to break the spoiler! --------------------  6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |
