You will need to remove the interior trim panel from the tailgate first off, as there is x2 6mm studs "10mm spanner size" inside the tailgate. As it is also glued with double back foam tape to the tailgate you will need to ease your way through this with maybe a "plastic body filler spreader" carefully. Try not to pull the spoiler until you have released most of it as it will bend/twist and not go back on again......

Good idea " matalan card" by the time you get the spoiler off she would not be able to use it again. You can buy this tape from most good spares shops and other outlets, this tape holds the spoiler on firmly...
