TA spoiler: easy to remove for cleaning?
TA spoiler: easy to remove for cleaning? I picked up my TA a few months back and it was really dirty inside, outside, under the hood, EVERYTHING! Its very clean now but where the spoiler meets the hatch, I can still see a line of dirt/algae. Can I just unbolt it or will there be some foam gaskets Ill need to replace like the aftermarket SS spoilers?
Thanks, Roy
Thanks, Roy
3 nuts on each side then take the big plastic interior trim off the hatch and their are 2 nuts under there. The left side has the wires/plug for the 3rd brake light. Its a 2 person job to do safely.
very easy to remove, like stated there are the 3 nuts on each side that are clearly visible when you open the hatch and 2 more under the main plastic trim of the hatch and the disconnect for the third brake is clearly visible with the trim removed. Lifting off is easy, setting it back in place is where it would help to have a second person. It's super easy I took mine off twice last week while doing some plasti-dip work.
a few things to note:
1. if your hatch shocks are even halfway decent condition the hatch will rise COMPLETELY (and rather quickly) when not weighed down by the wing so be careful.
2. you will be amazed at the amount of crud under there.
3. there are little "gaskets" that slide over the studs, sometimes they may stick to the hatch instead of coming off with the wing, just make sure all are accounted for, they keep the water out.

Thanks guys!
My shocks are probably new. Ill keep them in mind when reopening after cleaning.
Just wanted to be sure there was no special tape or adhesive needed to re install.
Thanks again!!
