Removing the rear spoiler

[Marc]

My rubber spoiler on my JA is faded, cracking, out of shape and generally shitty looking.

I'm considering removing it. Just wondering if anyone has done it, can you help me out and tell me how much work is required after i take it off? Looks pretty old & moldy under there...


Thanks alot for your help.

Bolts will be rusted inside the rubber so cnce you pull the rubber off you're left with rusty heads. These need to be ground down and dropped inside the hatch then extracted out the hole you drill in the side of it. Fill the holes then re-paint

Or the proper way is to seperate the rear part from the glass, remove the bolts (that are still rusty) then reglue it back to the glass. Then fill holes and paint.
