I've seen this come up a few times so I thought I'd post a guide up because it is very simple.
Tools
- 8mm socket
Time Taken
First time - 15 Minutes.
Second Time - 5 to 10 Minutes
Difficulty
1/10 - Very easy.
First of all open up the boot and you'll see 4 black 8mm bolts. 2 clearly visible 2 in each top corners of boot door.
Undo these bolts:
Then you need to disconnect the brake light, the clip is behind the rubber oval shaped grommet here:
Pop that off (can easily be done by hand) and you'll see some wires behind it, these are for the brake light:
And disconnect them:
Next, close the boot and the spoiler should be loose and not sitting flush to the roof.
Place your hand on it and put your finger tips down between the spoiler and the roof and your thumb under the lip where the brake light fits.
Now gently but firmly lift your thumb up whilst pressing down with your finger tips and pull towards you all at once.
The spoiler should then be off.
Then pull out this grommet:
And the wire you disconnected will come through with it.
That's the spoiler off!
Now all you have to do is remove the brake light from the spoiler.
To do this, undo the 2 screws here:
Undo these and now your spoiler is off and your brake light is separate!
To refit, just follow the above steps in reverse, literally.
Hope this helps
