Ok, I have a new Hatch-looking wing. I went to put it on tonight, but there was a little snag... I can't get the old wing off. I think it's glued or something. Has anybody hadthis happen? Do I just pry it off as gently as possible, or will it take the paint with it,,,, which is a VERY bad idea. HELP!!!

K, that glue crap sucks! I removed my spoiler 3 times in the process of putting my new one on and it held just as strong as the first time. I actually used clothespins (you know the ones with the spring, you can separate the two halves) as wedges and just hammered em in under the posts. I slowly added one then two pins to increase the "wedge" size and then it was easier to pull up on - eventually, the whole thing came up. Then I used bug and tar remover to get the excess goo off the trunk. Be really patient, thats the best advice...just take your time. Good luck!
