Today... my installers had alot of trouble removing my old spoiler because the adhesive was REALLY DAMN STRONG (I now see the 'power' of 3M?)...
One side came off easier (because Hornsby Honda had forgotten to remove the backing tape from double sided tape- you know the red bit you peel off to make it sticky?!), but the other... they sprayed it a bit with silicone spray and had to use various things like string, cable ties, and eventually fishing wire?... eventually after a long time cut it through and we got the spoiler off. It left a horrible residue which took forever to get off. I believe they used something called white spirits to help loosen it, then scraped it off, and then polished before installing the wing.
Didn't get a chance to take a photo yet.
Jo_E's wing ended up going back to our importer because installers thought it would get worse. Importer gave us two options; send back to Japan Mugen or to repair it locally. Ended up picking the latter which apparently requires them to bring it down and then reapply the fibreglass or something like that. I'm not too sure... but the importer is paying for everything so that's a good sign.
