Use "fishing line" to get rid of some of the double sided tape holding it in place. just run it back and forth till you reach eah end, being careful not to tear off the little plastic guide on the wing.

I highly recommend getting another set of hands to hold the other side in place and to make the removal easier.

There aren't any bolts holding it on?

That seems odd.

There are definatly bolts in place. Either 4 or 6 I can't remember. I know there are some hidden under that rubber stopper. Mine came off really easily. I basically unbolted the wing. Set the trunk down and wigled the wing straight up. It came right off without a problem, however the car was fairly new when i removed the wing.

a blow dryer works wonders...to soften up that tape..
then use the fishing line

4 or 5 10mm bolts underside...

close trunk
pull up on the wing slightly so it seperate from the double stick tape.
get floss and use it to seperate the double stick tape. Once u remove the wing,
use something like goo-gone to get rid of the tape left behind.

make sure you dont let the bolt slip off of the socket or whatever ur using to take it out. I remember the first time I took my wing off, the bolt felt out of the socket into this opening in the trunk. I had to use a long magnet rod to take it out. So, just wanted to say this to prevent from happening to you.
