just bought a vortex roof wing ....cant seem to get the old one off without scratching up the car.any how to's to replace the vortex???

 

Its a generator, not a wing.

If you can somehow get a piece of dental floss in-between the roof and the generator, that will be your ticket. Look up videos of de-badging, same concept.

 

Also use heat, the more the better. Can try using wd40 as well. I scratched my area up pretty good when removing mine to reclear it... it was light scratches but I figured since I'm putting it back on only I will know they are there, and they could certaily be buffed out.

 

no, you have to open the trunk. Then on both sides ( leading from the vortex generator down to the trunk ) there are skinny lines, you have to take a flathead screwdriver, and kind of pop out the lines, going all of the way up until you get to the vortex generator....

If you still dont understand which you probably wont, post here, and i will make you pictures or a video

 

^refering to the weather stripping along the cpillar.

 

I'm going to pick up a carbon vortex for my GSR.

 

Use fishing line if possible. It's a bit more durable and gives same result.

Basically follow his tutorial but when you get the weather stripping off take a heat gun or blow dryer and heat up the generator. Once you've done enough you can start to pull it off, and you also could use fishing line to make it easier.

 

Dont undersatnad what are talking about,i thought you just take it off bcuz its just 2 sided tape that holds it.

 

Follow the video, unclip the weather stripping on both sides, if you have one on there already you will need some fishing line and a heatgun/ blow dryer to heat up the old one to peel it off. Yes it is double-sided tape but it shouldn't come off easy if it was installed correctly. Once that's off use alcohol to clean the surface, stick the new VG in place. Then put the weather stripping back on top of the wing to hold it down. Done.
