How do you remove your spoiler from your 1996 Acura Integra?

Answer 1

For a coupe/hatchback (3-door). On the hatch itself on the inside, under the spoiler, there should be 2 nuts on the left and right side holding the spoiler's screw in place, all you have to do is:

1) Twist those 4 nuts off with your fingers if it's loose enough, if not just use some pliers or a ratchet and lefty loosy righty tighty.

2) After removing the nuts, put them somewhere safe.

3) Close/Lower the hatch so you have full access to the spoiler on the exterior.

4) Taking off ONE SIDE of the spoiler, be very careful taking out the spoiler because sometimes the screw might be pointing in-wards a bit, and it'll end up scratching your paint or messing up the holes. If you have a brake light on the spoiler, just disconnect it if it has the easy clip on/harness for it, if not just cut it, and you'll have to twist the wires together the next time you put it on.

4) After removing one side, let the removed side rest on a towel so you won't take the risk of scratching your paint while trying to get the opposite side out.

5) Take of the opposite side, and be careful with that towel, cause you might need 2 layers since it is a screw.. or just make sure that if it moves it won't scratch your paint.

6) If you have the patcher things, I'm not sure what they're called but you plug them into the holes so water or whatever doesn't get into your car, or the electrical stuff cause it's right on top of your tail lights and if you have the LED brake light, the wires are in there.

And that's it, should be easy, takes me less than 5 minutes, but if your paint is really new, I'd be careful with those screws.
