Need help removing 07+ V6 spoiler
well i've been trying to remove it for hours now. i only had a limited amount of fishline to cut through the 3m tape and most of it has broke.
does anyone know of a way to get the 2 pieces of 3m tape off. or is anyone who's sumwat local willing to help me remove it? it's a real pain n the ***. and body shops want like $80 just to remove it, which is kinda high if u ask me. i think to cut through sum tape for $80 is just not worth it.
any tips?

Just making sure you did open the trunk and loosen the 4 screws from underneath, right?
There supposedly is a video of Jack Roush popping a spoiler off.... one swift uppercut with the palm of his hand.
Heat gun / hair dryer. If you have a piece of plastic with a small edge, and you are REALLY careful not to scratch the paint, you can use that, too. I used a makeshift tool, I think it's really meant as a shim when contractors install windows and doors to allign them, to help get stuff off.

There are 4 screws underneath. You can access them when you open the trunk. They're staring you in the face, so it's easy to get to.

and yes i took the 4 screws out.
i'm just having a hard time cutting through the 2 LARGE pieces of 3m tape in the middle. sides were a breeze. i cut through a little bit but then the line would break and break and now i'm just running out of line. LOL once the new spoiler's on IT'S NEVER COMING OFF!!!! Haha
