Default EG hatch - How do I remove the 3 Piece Spoiler and patch the holes?

Not sure if this is the right section to put this, but I bought an EG hatch recently and it came with the stupid mid-wing. The middle is already off, I just need to know how to take off the corners of the 3 piece. And what can I do to fill the holes properly?

They're called screws and you'll have to know how to do body work to patch the holes properly.

As I recall the outer pieces were just held with double sided tape. Try using a piece of fishing wire and pulling it through. If there are screws holding them in, it'll snag on it.

That would explain the many stories I used to hear about them flying of in traffic under speed.

I thought I remembered an old Super Street article where they were all screwed on BUT if they are held on by tape that makes it really easy. Careful when using the wire as not to damage the tape. You'll find out pretty quick if it's held on with screws or not.

Well if it is held on by screws, is there a thread on here on how to remove the inner panels from the back of the hatch?

Alright. Just wondering if it was a little complicated process. Never had a hatchback before. Forgot I wasn't messing with an American car

I'll get back to you guys if anything goes wrong, but I doubt it will. So thanks.
