Ok guys, well i'm in the process of removing my high rise.

I've used fishing line to the point of where i'm hitting the bolts, but it still won't pull off.

and i'm afraid to use to much force.

So my question is, do I just need to quit being afraid and pull the thing off? or what?

 

i had the same problem... i used a plastic squeegee thing to keep it from sticking to itself again but yea man ur gonna have to use some force... like on mine the holes for the bolts bent a lil bit but if ur gonna weld em shut and paint over it, its not gonna matter.. afterwords, go buy some goo gone and take off the left over gunk... and if its temporary like mine, grab a big piece of vinyl and cover up the whole decklid... the plastic squeegee that i used is for putting window tint i think and didnt leave any scratched.. and it definately helps to have someone else there helping you out

 

Thanks man, i've got one of those laying around :

and my brothers helping me, so hopefully now I should get it off

 

BUmp

 

needs more muscle man. I remember it being a bitch to get off. . .

 

Heat up what left of the tape from underneath, then pull up.

 

undo the four nuts, get thicker fishing line and something to wrap the line around so you dont hurt the crap out of your hands and fingers, and a heat gun or hair dryer, then get to work!! lol

 

I just took the bolts off and used a heat gun and it almost just fell of by itself.If you pull on it to hard you could damage the trunk.

 

More heat from underneath.Use a real heatgun

 

Yeah ive noticed...its dented like four times but it comes back out :

 

Mine is dented. :/ GM failed when they put those gay ass spoilers on.

 

Yeah, IDC if I dent mine really considering it will be CF by spring

 

like i said, cover it with a piece of vinyl... you cant even notice it if u cut it to match the crease of the trunk... mine has held up all summer in 120 degree heat and the color is almost exactly the same

 

I used a fishing line and knife got it off it 2 mins with no damage. Having a friend help will make it easier.

 

I vote leave it on. Car looks gay with no wing.

 

I used a plastic spatula..

I 2nd leave it on.

 

Heat gun and some man strength.

Be sure to pull it STRAIGHT up or you could dent the metal on the trunk by pulling it out on an angle.

 

Yeah I bent my bolt holes up a little bit but no major damage, getting the holes filled this week, sadly nowhere around here that sells vinyl was open so i covered the holes with white ducktape haha

 

yeah, I covered mine with electrical tape lol

 

haha, its all good, as long as its the same color it doesn't matter right? haha

 

Just have some random kid jump on it, it comes off pretty fast then...

 

haha i used black duck tape till mine were filled!!!

 

I was actually thinking of taking off mine so I can paint the top of it black and the bottom of the brackets black also, but reading this kinda made me change my mind LOL! The thing is I want to put it back one after it is painted u know and want it to look like it did before I took it off. Do any of u guys know if the top of the wing comes off??? If it's being held by bolts on the side of the brackets inside the plastic or is it glued??? Let me know if u already took it off bud.

 

Godly Says "Take a heat gun to the end plates, then using a plastic pry bar & a towel get behind the end caps & pop them off. Then there will be two bolts on each side, remove those, then pull center blade from the towers."

Good luck

 

By chance is anyone on this thread wanting to sell there high rise??? Pm me
