Laughing brilliant is it glued on also or is it just a case of undoing the bolts? Once it has been removed will their be any holes left on the tailgate... MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

The bolts only go into the spoiler and are used to clamp it to the tailgate - so there's be no holes to worry about.

Once the brackets are off you'll need to prise the spoiler away as it should be stuck on with 3M tape.

Should be straight forward Thumbs Up The BEST looking half of the famous Twinlanders Ner Ner

i wouldn't prise it off, but cut the £M foam tape with dental floss

Prising might dent the car

then stick it back on the car looks better with them in place Evil or Very Mad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I successfully removed one using fishing line to 'saw' the adhesive, then a 3M adhesive cleaner to remove residue from the car body. Totally successful. Not a mark. Took about 5 mins with the fishing line, 30 mins patient cleaning with the 3M.
Thumbs Up ...

Don't prise... the adhesive is quite tenacious. 'Sawing through with fishing line (I found dental floss not strong enough) is a risk-free removal technique.

Stop it boys and girls.
Put the spoiler back on you knopw it makes sense. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

DO NOT fit a Censored great big sports spoiler, it's just wrong.


Must admit though, I expected the spoiler to keep the rear glass clearer than before it was fitted - no luck. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner
