Help: Messed up decklid install
Hey guys.. I messed up installing my decklid and it's a little bit crooked but I can't get the spoiler off, the adhesive has stuck really well. What can I do to take this off or am I stuck taking it to a body shop now? Thanks..

fishing line or dental floss. Heat up the adhesive with hair dryer or wait for hot day. Goo gone to remove residual. There's a topic on this somewhere already.

Azn_C300 is right. However, I recommend the dental floss instead of fishing line. Floss is less aggressive than the line but not as strong. I rather break a few floss lines and take my time than scratch the paint on a slip!
Goo gone is great for the after removal residue. If you want to debadge also, this the advantageous time to do so!
