    How is the TA 1 0 wing attached from the factory

    If I wanted to remove mine to change to a bigger wing does anyone know how it is attached? Will fishing line work if is just fastened with tape?

    from the factory it is 100% urethane adhesive, most aftermarket installs use 3m tape.

    I have a brand new oem spoiler I cant decide weather to 3m tape or urethane it. I might not install it any tho, so on the fence!

    I think you're right. My spoiler was removed to change the rear hatch that had a defect and the shop planned to cut the seal with fish line and reinstall with adhesive tape.

    It's adhesive not tape from the factory, I had mine installed with windshield adhesive.

    I would think something like a braided dental floss would cut better. Not sure what you use to remove the residue left though without damaging the clear with harsh chemicals.

    I would check with a body shop to see how they would remove the wing attached with urethane adhesive. They might have an adhesive remover that would remove the residue.

    I will be selling once I find a replacement. I know they sell on eBay for like $2300 new, so I’m open to offers on my used one. It is in great condition with no damage.

    You might want to contact Xtreme Supercars and see what they use on their aftermarket spoilers.
