My stock wing vibrates really bad when my bass hits. I believe that the wing is held on by clips and these clips have broken. Does anyone know how to remove the stock wing?

 

there are 4 bolts on the bottom closest to the 3rd brake light (inside the trunk) then the 4 clips on the outside edges. dont worry about breaking the clips they will most likly break anyway. when you put it back on make sure you use 3m double sided tape, bolts, and all new clips. it should help with the rattles

 

i have been previously trying to use the 3m molding they call it tape but its more like a clay and that doesnt hold anything down at all. Are the clips expensive and do u think putting a rubber washer on the bolts will help with vibrations?

 

mine had a rubber piece under the wing from the factory(between the wing and the trunk lid). Use the 3m molding tape (the black stuff with red backing) make sure you clean both surfaces very good and don't touch the tape. Those clips are about $20 a set I think but they are the right way to do it.

 

what do you do about the wires running through the stock wing to the led assembly. or is there a harness inside the trunk to disconnect it from.

there is a harness in the trunk with a plug.

 

oh hmm..i can NOT decide if i want to take my spoiler off (for the look) or not.

 

unless you want to fill and repaint or get another trunk its not worth it.

 

just leave it on and put it back on right. much less trouble. and as jsutter said there is a plug to disconnect it

 

i just like the look for some reason.

 

Hey thanks for all the help. Is there an easy way to get those plastic things holding the carpet on the trunk lid off?

 

they make a spec. tool you could use.

 

pry tool
panel tool

 

So do in order to get the old clips off on the trunk do you also use that pry tool? and how hard is it to put the new clips on?

 

I dont think the tool will help they are going to break. but it is easy to put the new ones on

 

Wow just called my local nissan dealer they said that the clips are 12 dollars each and the gromets are 5 dollars. Kind of pricey for a little piece of plastic

 

I dont think they should be that much. I was thinking mine was around $20-$30 for the set. that $12 is that for a single set of (4) and then $5 for the other

 

no i believe he said they were 11 dollars each for the clips and 5 dollars each for the gromets. I was wondering do all nissan dealers have a set price for there parts?

 

I dont know, but I dont think I paid that much. I could be wrong But thats not what I recall.

 

yea i just called another dealer in my area and they wanted 7 dollars per clip and 3 dollars per gromet. So i ordered it through them.

 

www.nissanpartscheap.com sells them pretty cheap (duh), that's where I got mine
