To remove a spoiler attached with 3M tape, you need to use heat to soften the 3M tape, causing it to loosen, and then the spoiler can be removed. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Locate the areas where the spoiler is fixed with 3M tape. 2. Use a heat gun to start heating. 3. Feel the heat with your hand. 4. Use a plastic pry tool to gently pry. 5. Repeat the process until the spoiler is removed. Introduction to the functions of a spoiler: 1. A spoiler can reduce the impact of wind resistance. 2. It helps the car stay closer to the road. 3. Improves driving stability. 4. The upward angle of the spoiler acts as a spoiler to disrupt airflow. 5. Enhances the body lines, making them more beautiful and textured.
I recently removed the 3M adhesive-mounted spoiler from my car using the fishing line and heat gun method. First, park the car securely, then carefully insert a fishing line or sturdy dental floss under the edge of the spoiler. Saw back and forth to separate the adhesive tape—avoid yanking to prevent accidental paint scratches. Next, use a heat gun to warm the adhesive for about 30 seconds to soften it, keeping a safe distance to avoid overheating the car. After removing the adhesive, spray some adhesive remover to clean any residue, inspect the body for damage, and you're ready to install a new spoiler. Patience is key here—if you don't have a heat gun, try a hairdryer on high heat. After finishing, test the waterproofing since spoilers affect the car's stability, but careful handling ensures no issues. It's best to do this on a sunny day, as humidity makes the adhesive harder to work with.
