Removing 6R R-line Rear spoiler

Post by JayW »

Hi guys!

Might possibly need to remove this spoiler to fit my new one tomorrow, is there an easy way to do it without damaging the paint underneath?

Yes the spoiler itself will come off quite easily. But the spoiler holder is about a metre wide and is glued onto the normal roof spoiler along its entire length. That's a bit harder to remove.

How does the spoiler come off? I'm interested as the rear washer jet is not very good on mine and it appears to be part of the third brake light. This is covered by the spoiler! :roll:
