Not sure if this is where I should be asking this question but anyway. I have been working on my alero these past 2 weeks, preping it for paint. I have got to get this wing off my car. I saw 4 nuts that look like they are holding it on the trunk and I removed them but its not coming off. I have used a lot of force but still no luck. Is there something other then then 4 nuts, like a clip holding it to the trunk? I was even thinking it might be a sealer holding it on and I just need to heat it up to come off.

uncrew 4 bolts on bottom and just pull really hard. or you can run VERY heavy fishing line between the wing and trunk lid before trying to pull off. it's held on with some really sticky poop.

Got it off no problem. Just took a knife and cut away at the pads holding it in place. Really easy.

future reference, I removed the 4 bolts, then took a black&decker heat gun to the underside of the trunk lid where the pads are, and had someone keep constant upward pressure on it. That heated up the adhesive and it came up leaving no glue on the trunk lid...almost spotless low-effort removal.
Then I put on the GODZILLA wing that everyone loves so much !!!

I was thinking of some ideas for my hood but I didn't know there was aftermarket hoods for our aleros. Where do I find them? |
