Spoiler removal

[quikmand]

does anyone have any bright ideas as to how you remove a factory fit gti spoiler from the tailgate.

the spoiler has been bonded on.

i picked the tailgate up from a scrappy so I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE TAILGATE :)

extremely grateful for any help, my dad suggested blow torch on the tailgate to heat the glue up...

[l'ectrics.com]

2 M6 Bolts recessed into the top lip of the spoiler.

And theres 2 Black screws on the very edge of the spoiler where the boot seal hits the back tips of the spoilers.

If its factory fit, how has it been bonded on?

[quikmand]

i am realy unsure to be honest...

how do you get at these bolts n screws? i can't see them..

on the inside offf the tailgate there should be two black gromets
pull them out and the bolts should be in there

what u doin with spoiler u gettin rid if so ill have

[jamesyouprat]

the spoiler is in two bits I guess the bolts are under the top section? There's nothing on the back of the tailgate???

open the tailgate up and then look up to where the spoiler is... you will either see two screws or two black rubbery grommet things.

if its the screw there you go... if its the rubber grommet things, pop em off and they should be behind there....? I think thats it! thats how mine was.

is it standard to the car???? if its just bonded and not bolted in anyway it may just be a case of giveing it a gd yank lol

[jamesyouprat]

as you can see i've hackaswed the top of the boot off lol i cannot see any screws or grommets or anything?

it just bonded on, heat it up and it should yank off as a last resort some solvents may work but they also will FUBAR the paint and possibly the plastic spoiler

[str18]

if there are no screws anywhere!! then I assume its bonded on! maybe get something thin and start to scrape it away if you can?

[jamesyouprat]

this is what i've been doing but i can see the bolts when i yank it, the spoiler is in twoparts. you bolt on the first section and the top section clicks on top. I just dont know how to remove the top bit!

[Steffrallye]

lol, you nut :D:D, can you see sealant? give it a yank:D

jam a thin bladed screwdriver in the gap and slide it along the clip line till the top comes off. Go gentle as you might snap some clips.

bump for this.im having major trouble with mine. can't see any screws and the bonding is like alien shit. just doesn't cut

[Quiksilver_TR]

Im having some body work done and need to get the spoiler off, not really sure where this thread is going.

Has anyone got a couple of pics of how to get the damn thing off as I am not hacksawing the top of the bootlid off to have a go! LOL!!!!!

Cheers
