How do I remove tailgate spoiler (sorry if this is obvious!)
1 Attachment(s)
I've undone the two nuts that were under the rubber covers and I'd assumed, wrongly, that I'd then be able to lift the spoiler off.
Is it stuck down so that I need to lever it up, or is there some other fixings I've missed? Here's a pic of one that's the same style. Thanks |
Yes, stuck down with heavy duty foam tape. Carefully slide a thin paint scraper knife, or similar, in between the joint and gently lever up. A carefully applied heat gun helps to soften the glue.

As has been said, but I wouldn’t use any form of metal scraper. Try cutting through the double sided adhesive tape, with dental floss.

Neat idea with the dental floss tape, I'll give that a go later. thx

As above more or less. Not sure if dental floss will be strong enough to cut through, but worth a try.
I personally use a very sharp and thin blade, to slowly slowly cut through the foam and being careful not to damage the spoiler. Having another person lift the wing even a milimetre or two, also helps enormously |
