Spoiler repair, how do I take it off?

I need to do some repairs on the underside of my spoiler, some asswipe had put the long brush and windowscraper I use during the winter in the back window and when I opened the trunk... So when I closed it again it was partly outside and the trunk had gotten "contact" so it kept going even with that thing sticking out.

Anyway the spolier cracked underneath because of this, gonna fix it up with some fibreglass, but I'd like to get it off, how are those things attached anyway?

It's the kind that comes on 91/92 GTA's anyway.

Is it a factory GTA wrap around or is it fiberglass, if its factory umm well they will crack just sitting there.

anyways if you look under the lid there is a few 10mm bolts that hold it on, 2-3 under the light its either 2 or 4 on the corner of the spoiler. There may be rubber plugs covering the bolts.

Once the bolts are off the clips are tricky that hold the arms on the side of the hatch. You have to slide if forward. and then pull it up. You will crack the paint on a factory spoiler doing this.
