rear carbon spoiler question

Bought a new carbonfiber spoiler for 09 c63, question how do I remove stock one I'm pretty sure it's held on with 3m should I use heat and fishing line also the new one is a little larger do you guys just use 3m or some sort of epoxy with the 3m ,just don't want to see it go flying down the highway hahaha

Heat it a little use fishing line to get it off goo gone to get rest of 3m off trunk new spoiler use 3m to attach that's the only thing holding the old spoiler and it hasn't blown off yet however that would make your job a little easier 😉

Yeah I just parked in the sun for a couple hours (black car) and used fishing line. And then I used a 3M adhesive remover wheel to get the rest of the adhesive tape off.

Yeah just don't try it on your plastic bumper like I did. And make sure you're careful and take your time with the fishing line, the paint under my spoiler got all scratched up because I didn't heat the adhesive enough and was in a hurry.

I used the fishing line and some of the citrus goo gone by letting it soak overnight and the next day its like sauce. Just wipes off and doesn't damage the car.

I have heard the wheel can be dangerous as it takes off clear coat but it seems it works for you guys.
