Default Tip for you who want to remove the wing

I used a flexible thin spatula the kind you use for plastering. Slide it between the wing and car and tap away slowly. Not a scratch on my trunk and it cuts thru the rubber glue they used. I got the wing off in 30 minutes. I think thats a lot better than the other recored times like 3-4 hours.

Default i dunno why everyone makes such a big deal of this.. it's the same adhesive they've always used

on spoilers... I have, the same way you mention, removed the spoiler from numerous 80 quattros which of course have had many more years for the goo to harden... being in a warm climate helps... would be a bad idea to try and tackle this on a January morning in Minnesota.

Default I thought dental floss did the job just fine, but yeah many here had a hard time.

I'll probably tackle it soon so we'll see if I'm any luckier.

Default dental floss

Yea the floss works till you get to the bolt then it was impossible to feed thru. There was a lot of glue on mine.

Default I did this recently, don't recommend it to anyone...

The body shop and I took about 3 hours to get the damn thing off. Never mind the cost to paint and replace a defective spoiler (that Audi claims "outside interference" and not covered under warranty. **** YOU AUDI!!!)
