Removing Standard Spoiler

[fatboyslim]

Hi all, when or if my new spoiler ever arrives I intend on sticking it on myself. Tried searching this topic but found no real results.

Ive looked in the inside of the bootlid and removed the two 10mm nuts on each end but it still feels fairly solid on the bootlid. Has anyone removed one from their car that could shed some light, im hoping its not bonded on or else it looks like ill have very little chance of getting it off!

Thanks all

Isnt there 3 bolts?....and yes they are bonded on and a royal pain in the *** to get off, not impossible it just takes for ever.

Alternatively change boot lids Me i just leave original one on, alot of these small stuck on sport type looks the same anyway not that it gets anymore attention

How would I go about removing it? Heat and a lot of serious prying or something!? don't fancy changing bootlids as im funny about paint matching and stuff... would drive me insane with any imperfections.

Mine came off in about 5 pieces! 3 bolts, yes but a lot of VERY strong glue!

You will need too get the whole boot sprayed and the old holes filled in if you have the high level TRD spoiler like i do.

easiest is to swap boot lids, but think u will be looking at a respray after removing the spoiler as it is bonded on- UNLESS you are very very lucky.

Well the new spoiler is of almost the same style so any scratches or damage to the paint when removing the standard one should be hidden.

Ah well, ill give it a blast and see what happens. Haven't even got the darn thing yet anyway.
