How to remove Rear Decklid Spoiler

bwilly · 06-12-2008, 04:51 PM

Searched and found nothing. Does anyone out there know how to remove the spoiler. I'm assuming it's held by betalink or something. Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you not know how your spoiler is held on? Either way if it was held on by betalink, good luck getting it off without ripping the paint off with it.

Because it came with the car

I heard bmw sells a beta solvent. Ask at the parts counter. If they tell you they don't sell it have your adviser talk to the mechanic/paint guy. Maybe a few bucks will get you a little bottle of it. I once got the dye for the seats this way.

Can you floss it off first before any kind of solvent is used? (Just like debadging the car)

heat gun (or just let it sit in the sun for a while) + floss if double-sided tape is holding it together.
