Yeah. I installed mine a couple weeks ago. You will probably end up ripping the entire trunk off before separating the wing from it.

I know the spoiler comes with that adhesion promoter pen, just wondering if you did anything else as prep.

Yes I did. In the instructions it recommends greese and wax remover which I used. I found a bottle of it from super cheap for $13. After you wipe it down with that I used an alcohol spray after that before applying the bonding agent supplied. Mind you after a few days after the install the back end of the spoiler is starting to lift!!!!!!! I did so much prep work on this.
I was in the sun over those two days not sure why this has happened.
The bonding agent supplied came as a liquid in a small vial not two sticks as others have received in the kit.
The only thing I can think of was there wasn't enough bonding agent.
The top section is solid as....... Open to suggestions for a fix.

Can you get a nozzle in there and apply some sikaflex. Its really sticks well.

Thanks will do. I'm working getting the over pipe off at the moment to put my SRT exhaust on. This thing is a pain. I have taken the heat sheld off but is proving to be quite a rubix cube.
