If anybody know how, please help !! | There are about 10 plastic fasteners. I think there are like 4 underneath in the mouth of the spoiler and the rest are under the trim. There is a pin in each fastener that is not visible until you apply some pressure in the center of the fastener with a small punch. Don’t push too hard because the pins will pop out the back and you might lose them. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
