removing roof spoiler!

[Dyewitness]

someone want to tell me how to remove the spoiler from my dynamique? yes i can unscrew the fecker but what about the electrical connections??? is the spoiler bonded down as well as being screwed?

open hatch and remove the 4 torx screws (two at each end)
Put a cover between the hatch top and roof so you dont scrape any paint on the roof/edge
Lift the spoiler up to release the 4 or 5 pop studs (sharp upward tug ... oh err)
When it is released carefully pull the rubber washer pipe from the washer jet
Remove the connector at the high level b/light (careful with the retainer clip or you will break it)
Jobs a good un!

Question - is the spoiler stuck to the tailgate with double-sided tape, or is it just held in place with clips/screws?

JUST CHANGED MINE ,NOT BONDED ONLY TOOK 5 MINS

Once the six torx screws are removed there are are about 4 plastic pop fixings holding the spoiler in place (making you think it is stuck down). Give it a sharp push upwards and the spoiler will be free (after removing the H/L braking connection and washer pipe). Whole operation takes about 5-10 mins.
