Both of you have manuals though, it would be a toss up between spoiler or clutch letting go Whistle

Scotland 2014 Freelander 2 TD4_e Dynamic Manual Fuji White

Well today was a success and a job well done bearing in mind it was snowing! Took approx 1 hour to remove spoiler and and another hour to cleaning up the dynamic.

First step was to removed the torx head screws on either side on the spoiler bracket. Next I pulled the interior cover the one that is used to access the brake light. However it would have been impossible to heat up the spoiler tape from the inside!

Using the steps I could see the sticky tape along the top and started to heat it up and then gently push up and down on the spoiler. Once it had worked loose I could now see the stick tape below the spoiler and heated up the bottom!

We then gently started to slice through the tape with fishing line as per Taz's recommendation

With the spoiler removed the next step was to clean up the roof!

The hair dryer helped to removed the excess and sticky stuff removed was left on for Appox 10mins and then rubbed very hard to gradually the tape did dissolve and break away.

The end result de-spoilered it actually looks ok with the bodykit when looking from behind the car. However from side on it looks odd with no spoiler!

I just hope the new spoiler will fit fine and not foul with the removal on the rear brake light and more importantly look nice on the her ...
























I wonder what these hand written digits refer to "2496" as my spoiler was a factory fit Whistle
