Replace OEM Spoiler?

Has anyone replaced their OEM spoiler with another OEM spoiler?

My spoiler had a small ding from the previous owner, so I bought a new OEM spoiler and went to put it on this evening.

I have the whole rear trunk apart, and took off the two nuts that hold the spoiler on, but it seems there are 7 red studs that clip into something on the inside of the trunk.

Do I have to reach in and push out from the inside to unclip them? Or do I need to pull from the outside of the trunk?

Thanks guys!

so it is just 2 bolts and clips
the adhesive is pretty strong so we used some fishing line (wear gloves if you have or a rag wrapped around your hands) and a plastic pry tool...

but for sure no bolt in the middle
