i keep seeing some awsome looking celicas without the rear wing. I was wondering how hard it is to take off. I havent gotten a chance to really take the hatch apart to see how many bolts there are but is there glue or some type of a gasket between the wing and the hatch. any help would be greatly apreciated.

Right on the lift, directly below where the wing is mounted, you will see one long plastic panel. Pop it off. It should come off pretty easily. On both sides of the wing, there will be 2 bolts (4 total) holding the wing down. All you have to do is remove those 4 bolts and wala... There shouldn't be any adhesive, as I didn't have any when I removed mine. EDIT: oops... I just noticed that you have the 96-99 wing... I don't know where the mount points are with that wing... but I'm pretty sure the procedure is the same. This post has been edited by kuya1284: Dec 12, 2003 - 6:27 PM |

well, on a 95 coupe the wing has crazy super strong glue holding the wing on. Maybe hatches are different.

see thats what i have heard is that there is this glue that is killer. so i hope that there is none. if there is whats the best way to get it off. and if i dont like it can i put it back on without the glue.

My 94 coupe has 6 bolts holdin it on. Its kind of annoying b/c i have to tighten them all up every once in a while to keep my subs from making it rattle all the time. I want to take mine off too or get another one.

I have heard if it is glued to use wire to break through the glue, and wooden wedges to separate the wing.

What about after the wing is removed, wouldn't there be screw holes or something?
What would you use to fill those? putty of some type? |

i think if i like it without the wing i will use body filler and then have the back painted and blended.
