Good man, you'll need to keep me updated on that one

Hope this helps Nut. Shows where the bulk of the tape is on a LR OE spoiler and where you need to heat / wire. Nothing in the fitting instructions about removing it unfortunately

Don't know if 3M tape or not - no logo or branding on the strips which I would have expected to see ?

Thanks Aero

Paul how long did it take you to remove your spoiler? Not including cleaning time  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

30 minutes but that was snapping dental floss, I then used a nylon line but be very careful as it's easy to start cutting into the spoiler, steady away and it will come off.

thats quick

What about the clean up? Can I ask why you removed your spoiler  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Is that a Rivnut between the sticky tape pad?
If it is, it'll need to be accessed to remove the bolt.
Didn't have one on mine.

No you can't ask, it was painful

I have another one now though and loving the car too, although with current diesel prices the RRS would have been superb why did you remind me


Never known a rivnut to be used.

No rivnut ........ what do you reckon it is?

Possibly part of the moulding process, it may be where the plastic is injected into a mould...just a guess?

I saved the image from Aero's gallery, expanded it and it does look like a cylindrical protrusion
It's also the same colour as the brass rivnuts on the side.


Think it would be a case of 'go carefully' as the spoiler's being removed.

packing tape around the spoiler and around the barn door handles. Drive forward very slowly and take up the tension, apply handbrake and then go around the back and heat the gap with a hair dryer.
Don't forget to video this

maybe not so silly but use a hand winch/ratchet strap between spoiler and barn door to apply firm but steady pressure At work

Just taken a closer photo. It is a plastic bung of some sort, not threaded and it doesn't protrude. I'm guessing its something used in the moulding process but I'm no expert. No other fittings with the kit except the usual two brackets and 4 torx bolts.
Must get it painted and fitted

ah, good stuff .... we can all breathe out now.

Thanks boys

Will attempt this on Saturday and will take plenty of pics and create a spoiler removal guide  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
