I would seriously doubt that you will be able to salvage the spoiler, but you might as well give it a try.

I would suggest using the same method I used to get the badge off the back. Take thick dental floss/tape and work it under a corner of the spoiler, then saw back and forth across. However, you'll probably need to refresh the floss often when it breaks.

The only other method that I can think of is to take a stiff plastic plaster knife with a sharp edge and work it along back and forth from the front of the spoiler to the bottom or back.


I'm removing the rear spoiler (factory - thick rubber) from my 82 Euro in preparation to paint and need advice on the best way to remove it. Are there any solvents to make the job easier without ruining the rubber?

In addition, what products do you recommend to refresh the rubber? Is there anything out there to fill in one small hole in the top of the rubber?

Thanking you in advance.

Norman
