    How to remove spoiler?

    I’m trying to fit the Land Rover Dashcam but can’t get the rear spoiler off.
    The manual shows 3 nuts to remove and 4 screws.
    At this point I was expecting it to partially lift off. Only held by wiring and washer tube.
    However it won’t lift up. Any ideas?

    Isn’t the spoiler held on with extremely adhesive double sided tape?

    All I could suggest is heat the contact areas up with a hairdryer and then used dental floss to “saw” between the tape and the car whilst someone helps hold it.

    Tesco had the answer just go to their car wash.It ripped off mine exposing 7 bolts and throwing spoiler onto the ground.
    £4K plus VAT still fighting the claim from February .

    Massive cost was due to the whole tailgate had to be replaced as part of the fitting was distorted making it Impossible to fit new spoiler .
    Huge pressure caused when washer sensor failed and just lifted up instead of backing off.
    Tesco say wear and tear!
    First time ever used car wash.

    There are 7 bolts holding the spoiler onto the tailgate.
    I don’t think it’s an easy DIY job to remove them.
    Good luck
