Sorry to be making these useless threads, but I need some insight. I'm in the process of taking my spoiler off, and I've gotten that middle bolt off fine. The end two are giving me a problem. I have a drill with the socket wrench bit, but none of them fit and I'm trying to get them off with a regular socket wrench except it's a bitch. Any advice on how you guys did it?

Okay, I've gotten all of them off. Except now there's two dropped wrenches in the hatch. How nice.

I have a socket stuck in my hatch as well. I can't seem to get it out for the life of me.

It just pulls off.
There are just little clips holding it on. Also spoilerless is awesome.

It's easy once you see how it works. So, it's quite dirty-looking now...I have to get the residue off, still, and figure out exactly how to fit the plugs. Problem is that there's two holes that are circular on the ends and the last one is oval, so it doesn't really fit nicely. However, I'm liking the look. It took an hour or two to get used to, but it just flows so nicely...I'd need JDM tails, an exhaust, some 17's and a lowering job to get it exactly right, but at least it looks better than with the 3-post. If anything, I'd consider throwing a 2-post on. But I like it.

Getting that glue off was way more annoying than when I debadged it. God that stuff was sticky...
I guess I should say "trying to get it off," since I never got it off.

I guess I should say "trying to get it off," since I never got it off. Goo Gone? I know you can pick some up at the 99cent store or a dollar tree. I used that and got a rag, wrapped it around a flathead screw driver and rubbed it out (for the debadge I did). But Goo gone works pretty good, and if a rag don't cut it, then use your fingers. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

I used Goo Gone and Goof Off, but neither were abrasive enough to have an effect. |
