Rear Dash Cam install

[justalfe]

I am trying to install a dual channel viofo dash cam and the camera that i purchased for the rear is a external one instead of the ones that typipcally mount on the inside.
, so i was thinking about mounting it under the upper spoiler, problem is I do know how to get it off,

I see the torx screws in the middle but the ones on the outter edges are just spinning, does anyone have any tips on getting the top spoiler off so i can finish running the cable up getting the camera installed.

Alfredo, might want to read this:

The issue is, those nuts on the underside of the spoiler that are supposed to be secured are now just spinning and your bolt will never come out. Check out my explaining on this.

That helped a lot I drilled a hole and got the screws off.. and the clips.. but the spoiler will not budge.

What am I missing here.

You lifted up on those clips at the ends (winglets) of the spoiler and then you pull the spoiler towards you (towards the rear of the car) and it will not come off? Are you sure you removed every bolt? There are 9 in total.

I got it off !

Thanks guys with out that tid bit of drilling a hole to hold the square nut I don't know how I would of gotten it off.

I went ahead and bought some JB weld and hit up both sides like you said.. I'm going to let it sit over night

Make sure you do not use Loctite when you put the bolts back in and screw them in slowly, manually.

Your photos are jumbled up because you are probably using an Android device and chrome uploading the photos.

I don’t think I could afford to have Mark as my neighbor. He’s got too many cool things going on.
