Heat gun/Blow dryer on low heat to soften the double sided tape, then use floss/fishing line to cut through the double sided tape.

Use goo gone or adhesive remover to remove left over pieces of double sided tape.

Mine either flew off or someone stole it. I ordered another one anyways cause the clear oat was kinda starting to flake off anyways after a couple years. $88 later from oemthing and I'm happy.

Pro tip: wait for it to be a hot day and let the roof spoiler heat up on its own first. Mother nature doing half the work for you!
