Removing aero spoiler clips. How???

I just took off the aerospoiler on my GTA. Now, how do I remove the clips that hold the front of it on? Are they just glued down?

The clips that are on the band around the back glass are held by spot welds. You can see small divits where the welds are usually. Take an 1/8" drill bit & drill just a little less than the thickness of the clip. After you can take a pair od pliars & work the clip back & forth, the weld metal will eventually fatigue & break free. Then file the spots down, fill with glazing putty if needed (from the drill bit divit), & paint.
Hope that helps

What a pain in the *** .

Thanks for the info though. I was too damned hot last night to screw with it so I figured I'd post the question here to get a head start.
