door spoilers
how do you take the spoilers off the doors? on the inside there are two little "bumps" that seem to hold them on.. how do you take them off?

I'm guessing you mean the plastic ground effects that are on the doors? First, with the window down remove the inside door panel. Use a wide, flat screwdriver or other sort of tool. Then remove the plastic peice on the upper side of the door. Push it in towards the door then up, firmly but not violently. Once the panel is off, roll up the window and pull the protective translucent film up from the bottom of the door. Look for three small nuts. I think they were 10mm but I don't remember. Remove the nuts from those three bolts and the two 'bump's on the forward and aft sections of the door that you talked about. The plastic should pop right off.

removing the door panels takes me about 15-20 min for both... not hard, but the first time is a little un-nurving.
