GEN V Spoiler Removal

I need someone's input that has had experience pullnig the rear spoiler off of a Gen V. I removed all of the nuts from under the trunk, but they spoiler would not bulge despite putting a little muscle on it. Is that thing also glued on, or ???!!!???

I want to insert various sizes of spacers to see if I can raise the stock unit an inch or two without it looking too dorky by having too much of a gap showing.

Please help at your earliest!

I would recommend leaving it alone. There will be a gap.

If your car is the same color as mine, i'll switch you lids. I have a 2001 GXE with no spoiler.

I don't think he is selling--he wanted to raise it off the deck...

Man, I am impressed. Of all the postings to date, you are the only one to read what I wrote and understood it. I appreciate your doing so!!

I do not care what anyone recommends (other than how to get it off the car, I am not going to sell it, and I am not going to swap it.

Thanks again! As a new site member, I was beginning to think it was not going to be of any benefit to me to post my questions!
