I just bought a new spoiler... is there anyway to get my old one off it has adhesive and is stuck on there like glue. i have a hairdrier but no go. thanks for any help

 

is it an ss spoiler?

i have asked on here a few times and never got a reply on how to remove the stock spoiler!

my ss has 2 screws and the double sided tape, that dam tape doesnt want to let that spoiler come off.

I doubt that a hairdryer will help? maybe? I wonder if there is a remover specifically for it, besides goo gone. my best guess is goo gone for now though..

i never got a reply, or suggestions hopefully people will see it here

 

baseball bat...or maybe a saw...my best guess. good luck though.

 

you can cut through the glue with fishing line after removing the screws and then remove the rest of the glue with goo gone. Piano wire will work to you just have to be real careful with that.

 

i tried floss, it's not strong enough, fishing line will probably work though!

baseball bat!

 

ya im pretty sure its prolly the same double sided tape as all the badges and the door strips. but thats my guess.

 

did you unscrew the bolts 1st.... if so then just pull real hard on the wing

Get you some 3m adhesive remover and squirt it between the trunk and spoiler. Let it sit for a couple minutes then put a steady pull on spoiler and it should start to come up. Don't jerk it or you may pull the paint off. I did this on my GTP and it was 5 years old.

 

lol i would like to help but i just brought mine to the dealership and walked away with an ss spoiler for free cuz they forgot to charge me lol

 

My dad is a service manager at our local dealership, so he is going to take mine off when it arrives and get the high mount installed... easiest way i know... haha.

 

Fishing line does NOT work I had 75 lbs line when i took off mine and it did NOT work. I snapped the line and nearly ripped myy hands appart doing so. the best thing to use is a heat gun and a friend to help lift it off evenly.

 

when i read that i actually laughed thats kind of funny i work at a dealership i will go ifnd out how to take it off the best way so look for my post later in the day

 

Get a plastic razor blade and a heat gun BUT BE VERY CAREFUL not to heat it up to much !!!!!! for you might bubble your paint or damage the car, once heated up slowly take off but BE CAREFUL

 

Wow sorry to flame, but did you REALLY put "dual mufflers" on your car?...

 

Use a heat gun, you can rent one from Home Depot for like 12$, or, you can buy one for I think as low as 25.00.

Use that, and a lot of patience, and it will slowly come off.

It will help A LOT, if you have someone to help you!

As for the residual glue, Goo gone probably works, however I had my best luck with a rag and rubbing alcohol.

Good luck either way!

Also, remember that the paint on our cars is relatively crappy, and therefore, be careful when using a heat gun! Dont ever put it on its highest setting!

When I took the emblems off of my base model, i bubbled the **** out of the paint.
That was using the high setting on the heat gun. just a heads up!

The one I rented from Home Depot had two settings.

 

Beat me too it!

 

sorry buddy i called over my body shop girl and she explained it so its not my idea im an idiot

 

No worries!

 

but we have the same ideas i guess just REALLY BE CAREFUL NOT TO BUBBLE OUT YOUR PAINT OR I THINK YOULL BE A LITTLE MAD
