Attn: Emax or Anyone who's familar w/ the trunk Mounted Spoiler........

So I'm doing a little project & need to take the spoiler off....open the trunk & see 3 nuts only need to come off no big deal...so I unscrew the bolts & the spoiler still wouldnt move....as I pull up on it I notice that its glued down? Is anybody elses spoiler glued down on the trunk? Is there more bolts then 3?(was yours Emax when you took it off to put on the apc spoiler?) I can take this spoiler off & its pi$$ing me off....Can anybody answer these question or give me suggestions.....

Un-plug the LED wire and remove the 3 nuts. Then you have to heat the double sided 3M tape up(you called it glue). Over all it takes a lot of force to remove the thing, you NEED to heat the tape up good to get it to budge at all. Have fun.

You know I just rememebered that the stuff is glue.. Sorry, what I said still holds true though. BTW I am pretty sure you can remove the LED light without removing the whole spoiler. You just need an "L" shaped screw driver.

you have to shave the middle 2 tabs w/ a dremel which is easy to do if you have a dremel (i use a rotozip)
