Default Taking off OEM wing!!!

Couldn't find an answer in the archives. Curious if anyone can help me on this. Once the OEM top deck wing is taken off the car, how do you disconnect the plastic piece containing the brake light from the metal piece that attaches to the rear hatch? Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

I was able to get the clip on both corners of the wing off but it seems as there are some other clips/connectors or something holding it in somewhere in the middle... kinda hidden? Are there any hidden clips that are underneath somewhere? It still feels locked in somewhere. I just don't want to break the thing.

Thanks for all the info.

When I took mine off. I disconnected all the bolts, then unclipped the connector for the light and also disconnected the hose for the rear window washer. I think I had to move the window up and down a little to get it to come off without hitting the paint. But it took about a minutes to do the whole thing. Maybe you missed a bolt somewhere?

I got that far... to the point where the wing is off the car but the prob is disconnecting the wing into the two peices. Thanks for all the help so far everyone.

I lost you when you said "disconnecting the wing into the two peices" what did you mean by that? Do you mean from the car or? I am not sure.

So do you want to take just the wing off and leave the other piece on? Or are you putting on an aftermarket wing?

I have an SiR wing that I want to put on eventually. Unfortunately, mine didn't come w/the metal piece (usually painted body color) that attaches to the plastic part of the wing. So, this means I have to use my stock metal piece and re-attach the SiR wing to it. Sorry if it's all confusing!

I found this pic in my search process on H-T. It's not my pic but I hope it helps explain my dilemna. Just imagine the SiR wing on the left MINUS the attaching metal piece that EH wing on the right (shown here in white) does have.

Thanks for all the info and help... it's very much appreciated!
