Default how the hell do i take off my spoiler!!! (g3)

the area in the trunk is too narrow to fit a ratchet... what size bolts hold it on? i think it'd probably be the same... but if it helps it's a wings west 7" midwing. i hate it. the owner before me put it on. someone help!
thanks
eric

there should be 2 10mm bolts on each end of the inside of the boot lid...what do you mean a ratchet wont fit, the bolts/nuts are exposed and should be easy to get to

If it's the stock wing, it's very easy. Do like the post said and use a 10mm ratchet to get it off.

As for an aftermarket wing like yours. It's nearly impossible to tell what kind of bolts hold it on. It depends on who put it on. They could have used a 12mm, or a standard 3/4 or something.

If they got it on, you can get it off. Maybe some sort of ratched extension?

what do you mean by the area in the trunk is to narrow to get a ratchet, the spoiler is held on the boot lid not in the trunk, open the lid and the nuts should be on either side just find whatever size socket is required. Your spoiler should be attached the same way a oem one is on either side. explain better what you mean by trunk area too narrow??

BTW what kind of wheels are they? i was thinking on changing mine and was looking for something dished like yours.

Ever hear of extensions for ratchets? They make working in tight areas like that (even though I don't think it's that tight) much easier. Give it a try.
Not trying to be a jackass, just trying to help out.
