Boot lid spoiler

yo_stock · 19-02-2006, 10:00 AM

Hey guys, i have just bought one of these, off ED XR6. Was just wondering how to get it off the boot lid, without doing damage to it.

Cheers.

No nuts under the trim underside of the boot lid? Please don't tell me it's glued / epoxied on..

Yes, there is the nuts on the underside, undo them, and it is stil firm as, it is glued, like i need a paint scraper under it. Is there a way to loosin up the glue?

Try melting the glue with a hair dryer, works when removing badges

i think they call it stickoflex and its a bugger of a thing to try and get off

I'm trying to get my lip spoiler off to as I got an eb gt spoiler and i'm encountering the same problem...

yo_stock · 22-02-2006, 06:23 PM

Has anyone tried to do it with a paint scrapper, and tap the bolts with rubber mallot?
I dont need the boot lid, but would like to do it so i dont wreck it..]

Cheers

run some prepsole under it
it should disoleve the grib that it's got from the lid to the lip
then us something like a paint scraper andwiggle round and it should let go

Where did you get it from do they have anymore i have been hunting for months?

I've got one i'm putting on my EA... undid the bolts and it's glued to the boot also. My old boot has sunspot damage, so i just took the whole boot w/spoiler and repainting it.. somehow i don't reckon it'll come off that easily, didn't want to risk stuffing up the rubber so i left it on.

Anyone been able to get it off a boot sucessfully and still intact okay?

Ive been searching for months too, finally found one, in good nic and not attatched to a car either.

Thats not fair sloth find me one!!!

they are double sided taped on, ive taken off about 5 or so of these and they can be a pain! paint scraper works well as well as a thin knife. just take it easy when doing it as you can crack the paint very easily. if its not original and someone has siliconed it on it will be a fair bit harder.

For those trying to find a lip spoiler,
according to the bottom of this ebay add this guy is in the process of making copies of the REAR lip spoiler.
Bout time someone did. (they'll be everywhere then)
