Wrapping My Hatch (Removing Parts?)

[Raconteur]

Hey all,

Officially a brand new member here as of yesterday!

I'm trying to find out the most correct way to temporarily remove the rear wiper blade assembly and the trunk handle of my 07 hatchback. I'm also wondering if I can easily remove the spoiler support nub at the top too.

I'm wrapping a few parts of the car starting this weekend. The majority of what I'm wrapping is simple enough, but I'd like to be able to remove these parts of the hatch so I can just toss on a clean sheet without having to use too much guess work on where to make the necessary cuts.

I've tried to search the site sight for any hints as to how to best accomplish this, but to no avail.

If somebody could point me in the right direction or offer up some tips, I would greatly appreciate it!

Wiper mount and hatch release removal becomes pretty much obvious once you've removed the inner hatch panel. Not sure about spoiler "nubs". I would assume first step would be dropping the headliner.

That makes sense. I took another gander at the panel on my break and, yeah, it looks pretty straight forward now. I'll poke around some more about the nub, my hope is that it's only held on by adhesive, but we'll see.

Thanks!

What spoiler are we talking about? The roof mounted wing spoiler or hatch mounted lip spoiler. If either are factory installed, then hardware will be involved. If aftermarket, then adhesive alone may be doing the job. With either type of spoiler, if hardware is holding them, there will be two access covers along the top of the spoiler.
