assuming you are talking about the trunk spoiler. I seem to remember needing a deep 8mm socket to get to the bolts on the underside, then a matte knife or something similar to cut the adhesive- its actually not that tough, at least the couple I have done have not been.

Default and you wanna do this why?

the spoiler is one of the distinguishing marks on this car!

are you trying to be stealthy?

i often wondered bout putting spoliers ON my 5Ks...

why would you ever want to take it off? unless a chopped passat spoiler look better to you there!!!

just my .02

thx,

Yeah undo the nuts under the lid ( use a magnet so they dont drop down) then use a thin putty knife!
