Default how to take the LX spoiler off

i unscrewed the padding under the hatch and i took off the 2 screws at the tips and its still on there good.

is it just sealed on there with some adhesive? i started pulling on it and it wanted to bend so i let go.

im doing some trial and error, trying to diagnose a sound coming from the rearend.

i'm pretty sure there were 4 nuts/bolts on my gt hatch. look for 2 more screws??? if you can't find more nuts/bolts, grab it by an end (not the center) and see if it'll give. i wouldn't think that adhesive would be strong enough to bend the spoiler, unless its some goooooood sh*t

There is a gasket under there. Maybe from just sitting there soo long the gasket kinda glued itself to the wing and the actual hatch. Don't think that you wing would be making a noise if it's that good on there. But that's just my opinion.

There are a bunch of studs on the bottom of the spoiler, pull the trim piece off the bottom of that hatch and look thru the holes, you will see the nuts. Mine had no sealer/glue under it.

Yeah, that plastic panel comes off and there are a bunch of bolts, way more than the GT. Like 8-10 all together.
