Thank you, it would be much appreciated. Worst case scenario I will take the whole decklid off and repaint them. I tried putting alot of force on it and it didnt budge at all. Good thing I put the roof spoiler on with doublesided tape, lol

depending on how confidant you are you could always put 2" masking tape on both sides of the part and try and get a razor blade under the part and slowly start cutting the glue and lifting the part to cut more back. The remainder of the glue can probably be removed with adhesive remover.

I don't know what kind of glue it is so... good luck!

Thanks, I'll try that . I tried the floss and it just kept snapping.
