I am not sure if all spoilers are the same but try this...

There should be 4 bolts that hold it on. The underside of the trunk lid (deck lid) is where you'll find them. Have someone help you hold it while you're loosening it up. FYI...you'll have holes in the trunk lid so if you don't have plugs for them it will leak and get water in the trunk!

Very easy as said above, undo nuts in the boot which will be holding the spoiler on then gently pull it off. If you don't have plugs i used "nito Electrical tape" on the outside and inside covering the holes. in 2 years never leaked once!:wave:

ClarkRubber,Autobarn or hardware stores have them.
Also if the spoiler has a brakelight make sure you dont rip it out when taking the spoiler off.
Unbolt it and lift it slowly with another person and disconnect the plug for the light.
Then see what size plugs you need for the holes.
