Something clouted the top of my spoiler and the mounting 'bit' is broken on one side.

I want to take it off to see if the broken bracket can be repaired (cosmetic part.. so possibly), but can't figure it out and don't want to break it further.

Any idea how to do this? Does it push back / forward? Do I need a special tool? Is it something awkward like the whole boot has to come off?

Any pointers gratefully received. Thanks

Didn’t you ask this already? Open tailgate glass. Remove spoiler fixings. Slide spoiler off and unplug any electrical connections.

Remove spoiler fixings.
Thank you.

I can't figure out how to get the spoiler fixings off.

I take it it is these four screws. I can see how they lock the spoiler into place, but not how they release the lock to allow it to slide out.

They normally slide forwards or backwards once the bolts/fixings are removed.
