Default Removing XR Lip

Hye guys, just a quicky, whats the easiest and quickest way to remove an xr bootlid lip spoiler? Its got 4 bolts and seems to be stuck on with some kind of double sided tape or adhesive?

Anyone had experience with this?

I used a plastic putty type knife, gently work it in between the spoiler and boot lid and gently tapping end of knife with a hammer to seperate the two. Also found it easier with boot lid removed from the vehicle.

Hey mick i wonder if fishing line would work? Make up a certain length and make handles at the end of it for grip. Then use it to cut the glue. This is how you get badges off cars so its proberly worth a try.
