if it just unscrews...couldn't we just remove it and then plug the holes with stoppers?

anyone done this on here?

Default FIRE!
and then when that doesnt work, get a body shop to take off the aircraft grade glue that holds it on.

Schwing removed his in the early 70's and said it was a PITA.

Default ok, might have been turn of the century...
and screws and glue as I recall it Syed.

(hope all is well -I wish I could justify removing the spoiler)

Default removing the spoiler would only be...
aesthetics.

Default Steve did it that way >
check his fokti; it's attached both with a flexible epoxy and with bolts - pita to get off, esp w/o damaging the paint. I had mine removed and the holes welded, then it all repainted

thanks man. I love the un-spoilt look.

maybe I will get over this nasty streak of self preservation and go ahead and do it ;-)
