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!

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

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

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.
