rear spoiler removal
 
just wondering how to remove the upper rear spoiler as my car is going in for painting and im just removing as many bolt on bits so that it ends up being a proper job. I know there is a bolt securing the top spoiler support underneath the boot cowling. im more worried about the top, is it bolted, bonded etc. i would be greatfull for any help thanks

remove boot trim panel slacken off 8mm bolt then slacken the 4 upper 6mm bolts they shouldnt be bonded on. remove lower bolt can be tight be carefull then with a helper from either side undo the top 4 bolts and gently lift away mite have 2 gently wiggle as years of dirt and polish tend 2 stick them on

be careful of the lower bolt,as it can strip the threads from the bonded in plate in the centre leg

I'd spray a bit of WD40 before undoing any bolts, as this helps abit.

Just make sure you clean the WD40 off before spraying. :cry: :cry:
