How to unstick the spoiler? :s

[RudeDogg1]

How the hellish do you get the spoiler adhesive to unstick from the car? im practicly lifting the car up trying to pull the spoiler off and it hasnt budged!

[Jay-ZS+]

tried pulling some wire between the joint?

[RudeDogg1]

o didnt think of that

[Steves Cleenz]

boiling hot kettle, pour it around the base of the spoiler, this sometimes helps, and dont pull it from the centre as they break lol

[RudeDogg1]

lol i was pulling frome the ends :p

[RudeDogg1]

well that didnt work! :(. I would try white spirits cuz i know that disolves it cuz thats how i got it off phates old spoiler but dont wanna fook up me paintwork

[stamford]

Use some fishing line and a couple of handles each end, like a cheese cutter. The pads are a right ****** to separate I know!

[RudeDogg1]

thats what i tried ill try again tomoz weather permiting its so annoying cuz i need to get it off to nick a couple of the threaded bits from it to glue into the new one thats missing 2 its just being so damn stuborn

[stamford]

Another option is to use an old credit or bank card to pry it apart, not easy but be patient.

I used some wooden wedges tapped between the spoiler and boot skin, leave the nuts fitted loosely tho, cos it pops off a bit rapidly.

[RudeDogg1]

might try that tomoz

What I did in the end to get it off was a flat head screwdriver starting at one end and slowly tapping it with a hammer, gradually going along and you'll do the entire length eventually :)

Oh and I went to the post office mate they said due to 'ongoing problems from the strikes' it could take upto 2 weeks to get to you :(

[RudeDogg1]

grr thought strikes had been called off lol never mind i bought 2 nuts off rimmers nearly 3 quid a pop! gonna use the other 4 off me old spoiler. And goona yank 2 of the threaded bits

[RudeDogg1]

Well i finaly got the bitch off whats the best adesive to use thats easy to get from say halfrauds? I can get the sticky backed foam tape like mg used but thought maybe ill need summut stronger as i had to bodge 2 of the threads

[Jay-ZS+]

Try glazing tape, prob sell it in somewhere like screwfix, that would hold it on without any bolts lol

[Jay-ZS+]

Something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Security-Glazing-Foam-Tape-Polyethylene-18mm-x-5mm-x-15_W0QQitemZ150232117059QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_3?hash=item22fa882f43
Make sure its in place first time else its not coming off!!!

[RudeDogg1]

thats the same sorta thing i can get just wandered if theres like a silicone type adesive or summut

[Jay-ZS+]

We used to use a silicone with 30% glue content at work its was called tremsil or something similar
Here we are http://www.tremcoeurope.com/Toppage/tp_tremsil.html

[RudeDogg1]

that name sounds familiar

[Jay-ZS+]

Yer we used it for the beading when glazing windows and some joints on furniture when we wanted to allow for a small amount of flex or shrinkage of the wood to advoid cracking, Not as strong as the tape, if it was me Id go for tape
