So I wanted to remove my stock wing. I was using fishing line, but that wasn't working very fast and was cutting into my skin(gloves would of been an awesome idea ), so I decided to do something stupid. I hammered the screws from underneath, thinking it would push the wing up and break the glue/tape. Well, instead it just shoved the screws into the wing itself, and now all 4 are chilling inside the wing. I've had thoughts of putting the wing back on, as I don't have funds for a Mugen gen1 wing right now, but I need to fix it somehow. Anyone know of a way? I was talking to someone who mentioned being able to fix that, but I dunno what he said to do.

Why? You don't live in Cali.

Got any damage pics?
I gotta think that just buying a new OEM or replica wing will be your best bet at this point.

 

After hitting the screw into the wing the 1st time wouldn't you have considered that was a bad idea. That way you could have had 3 bolts attached in good condition still. What made you go on and hit in the rest?

I would believe that you are going to have to buy a new oem wing.

Patience is a good thing, try it next time

Yep. I believe you've trashed your stock wing. Unless you can figure out a way to cement new fasteners in.

Meh, let 'em rattle

 

You can just use a thread forming screw slightly larger than the previous stud to re-attach it if you don't mind having studs rattling inside your wing.

I did this on my gsr when one of the studs snapped.

 

You're Gay for taking it off in the first place. What are you doing tonite? I'll help you put it back on. Shouldnt be to hard

Thats what the guy suggested. I'm gonna attempt to find a way to get the screws out. Dunno how, but I'll figure something out.

Once the first one went, I just did the rest. I wasn't planning on putting it back on, but now I feel like putting it on for a little bit.

If I can't fix my stock wing, I'm just gonna stick to wingless until I have the funds for a Mugen gen1.
