wings off?

[dann944]

as the subject said i just wondered how do i get the wings off??

 

[dann944]

am i just being silly but ive taken all the bolts out :/

Theres one inside the wheelarch facing the rear of the car; and also another three holding the PU on. You have to KNOW you have everything as the sealer has to be overcome and youll ruin the wing if a fixing remains in place.

Once you have all the bolts off you need to wiggle the wing up and down to break the sealant free, its mega thick and doesn't look like it will free off but apparently it eventually does. My brother ISTR also found that on my S2 there was a mounting bolt neatly hidden behind the ABS pump, didn't find it until after mullering the wing. Really was loads more work then expected.

Had loads of hassle getting one of my wing off (passenger side), just persevere with it, if you have removed all the fixings its just the sealer and its amazing how much it holds. I got a slim knife and used that along the top seam, which helped a lot, try that if still struggling.

Not forgetting the bolt between the badge panel and teh wing at the very front... and I thought it was three bolts back to the door hinge panel underneath the wheel-arch...
