get a BIG hammer and chisel steve if i remember correctly you remove a rubber blanking plug each side in the boot shut area of the boot lid for access to 2 bolts and remove the plastic trim in the bootlid for access to the other 2, or something like that ,theres 4 bolts in all,youve already got the top spoiler off havent you?

make sure the drainage channels in the spoiler are clear whilst its off and i should also use a blob of silicon around the holes [inc middle one]when you refit to make sure its water tight,or your tent might get soggy

What he said! .....Very fiddly to get them out but one piece of advice on this is use a magnetic philips screwdriver because if you drop them in the tailgate you will have fun gettin them back out!!!
dont overtighten the centre post when putting the tail back on or it'll crack at the base.
