Rear spoiler removal

I did a quick search but found nothing initially.

I need to remove the rear rubber boot spoiler so as to give the body work a good clean. The car has obviously stood for a long time and collected debris between the paint and rubber. Do we think this a good idea or am I going to experience problems removing the spoiler and possibly the hockey sticks? Straight forward job?

Thanks in advance gang.

I'd hazard a guess at really hard job!! I couldn't get mine off due to a number of issues so in the end just secured it all with sikaflex.

You can get it off. I removed the spoiler on mine,but I had to drill most of the screws out. My suggestion would be to leave it on and use something to clean between the spoiler and the glass.
 
I think you're right. Nearly every part i've removed or changed has a rusted, cross threaded or worn screw of varying type.
 
Recently removed the rubber rear spoiler from mine to replace with a hoop type one - had to drill-out most of the screws!

In my experience the hockey sticks are easier to remove than the spoiler

Managed to use a micro fibre cloth to get under the spoiler and scrub the muck away. Also use awooden BBQ skewer to unplugged the drainage vents. It looks so much better now. The amount of debris removed was impressive. Off to Halfords later to try the maguires compound/polish treatment see if I can bring some of this tired paintwork to life.
