In an attempt last month to remove the spoiler for tint, the bolts inside the spoiler stripped. Now how will I get the spoiler off w/o breaking the damn thing?

After I have it removed and painted, how will I go about re-installing it? The bolts are stripped in the spoiler, do I just install some sort of wall anchor type thing into the fiberglass? Will that work?

Thanks guys!!

Can you shear or grind the exposed portion of the studs off?

As for reinstallation, I would just epoxy some new studs in place of the old ones. Prep it right, and use a high strength epoxy and you shouldn't have any more issues with it.

I tried a hacksaw, but only ended up scratching the part the spoiler sits on. I'm not to worried about getting it back on as I am getting it off.

Where can I buy razor wire?

pull out the grinder, and go slow with it. If you're to aggressive the heat is going to mess up your paint and the urethane.

The paint already horrible anyway, and is the one reason for removal, that and tint of the hatch glass.

I'm thinking a long hacksaw blade will get the job done in 3-4 hours.
