My spoiler split in half on my car so im trying to find a new one. I end up finding one today at a jy and i cant get the dang thing off. I took all the nuts off but it wouldnt budge and i didnt want to break it. Is there a trick to it or? thanks

You got all 10 nuts off, even the 2 on the ends under the black plastic caps?

They are stuck on tight after years of the seals baking to the paint. The crap thing about it is once you get it off you find that it has cracked around the bolts.

Take some PB blaster with you.
Tighten, THEN loosen, and back and forth, otherwise you will strip the bolt in the spoiler. Be liberal with the PB.
