Is it safe to open the trunk by lifting up on the spoiler once it's popped. I never thought it was a problem until a friend told me I could damage it. Is this true? I have never had a problem but i do in fact lift the spoiler on average once a day to get into the trunk.

 

i do it all the time

 

^^ x2

 

I do it all the time also.

 

do it every time
and i have the highrise

 

I dont, its not a handle, I grap it from under the lid.

 

I never use it, i always lift from the bottom of the trunk. i was always told it could like loosen up the spoiler

 

I use the low rise to lift all the time, the lid doesn't pop up far enough to get my fingers under it

 

I lift under the lid and use the black rectangles to close it. I think I do it that way because mine s black and that **** scratches so easy.

 

I really don't know how lifting on it is going to loosen something that's bolted on.

I lift with mine all the time, although in my mind thinking about it, I tend to use the side supports rather than lifting in the middle.

 

Won't loosen the wing but it may bend/scratch the trunk. Have had a low rise on 2 cars now and both of them have had a slight warp at the leading edge of where the supports are adhered to the trunk.

 

i lift right in the middle (high rise) have been for 2 years no problems

people are always freaking out about these things saying they rust and what not

one time i got stuck in the snow and my buddy said hed bounce the back of my car to get me out

then i realized he had been pushing down on the center of the high rise about 40 times
no problems whatsoever though

 

The Spoiler makes it so much easier lol, just went wingless and I find my self still reaching for the spoiler lol

 

The people who say it will loosen it have OBVIOUSLY never tired to take one of those spoilers off...

 

I loosen form the little gap created after popping the trunk. I just don't want something like it being pulled off to actually happen.

 

When I had the high rise using the spoiler to open the trunk broke the adhesive lose on one side and broke a stud out of the spoiler.

 

I lift from the trunk, but I grab the spoiler after I close it so it doesn't jiggle haha

 

use the trunk. the ******* who had my car before me used the wing as a handle and basically lifted the spoiler and tape away from the trunk deck

but use the wing to close the trunk to make sure it doesnt vibrate after it shuts

 

I'm actually surprised that people are pulling their spoilers off their trunk by doing this. Cause like I said...I tried ACTUALLY removing my spoiler and it was a bitch. I unbolted and STILL spent like half the day working on it.

 

when i had my cobalt i used the low rise all the time never a problem i dont have a trunk anymore though.

 

I took mine off to see if I liked wingless and I have to agree, they are ******* on there good. I thought I was gunna snap it in half before the tape came off.

 

I was just gonna say. God damn people if you've seen the adhesive they use on the wings you'd laugh for even thinking your petty hands would have an effect

 

mine practically fell off my car while bolted on... i dunno where all these adhesion is. but my first wing didnt have any of it

 

lmao thats the truth... PITA

 

I pull the spoiler just a little, just enough so I can get my fingers under the trunk and lift. My fingers are too big to fit if it's closed :lol;
