34177, Talon spoiler removal
Posted by xcasbonx, Nov-13-02 04:24 AM
Yo'z, I got the talon "thumbnail" spoiler on my car and the one side is a lil loose. I've been tryin to figure out how to either tighten the one side or either just take it off. I've taken off all interior pieces in the back and still cant find where it connects. Anyone know how to get it off or tighten?

Ive taken mine off, and put it back on, there was thre 10 mm bolts holding it on, and one rubber gromit that tail light wire run through. Hope this helps.

ONe BOlt in the center, and 2 towards the end of the wing. The are up in the sheet metal that's al cut out.

Also you need to remove the wiper.

Its pretty easy both ways. Get the screws underneath. And you dont have to remve the wiper, I didnt. Just point it up. After you get the screws out, you have to tug on the sides to get the spoiler out of the clips but should come right out.

You could just put velcro or something underneath if you want to keep it on and make it not loose. Also, taking it off it will be ugly underneath. Color wont be faded like the rest of the car etc.

mine maybe be slightly different then i had to take the wiper off. Also it wasnt held on by clips only the bolts.

well I'm pretty sure its held on by one of those clips, cuz on the side I can tell its off the clip, but I cant get it to pop back in and I'm starting to think it broke somehow, so now its time to start thinking of ideas to get it locked back down.

if your interested i could hook u up witha carbon fiber or fiberglass hatch taht eliminates the spoiler looks cool and saves some weight for performance.. utilizes stock glass etc..

hmmm, how much would this be? When I hear "hook up" I think free, but I am assuming this isnt.
