nah you can do it yourself i did mine, take off all bolts, and yeah theres glue. what i did was wrapped a flathead screw driver in electrical tape so it doesnt scratch the paint, wedge it in and push it up then when theres bit of a gap i used a stanly knife and cut through sum of the glue to make it easier, then eventually pull hard =]

ok mad, so wat about all the glue that will be stuck to the boot? and wat about the holes?

you can get a cleaning solution from the car shops for the sticky stuff, not sure what its called, haven't used it in a while.

as for holes, make a visit to bunnings for some plastic plugs, works a treat :P

i used eucalyptus oil and a cloth and got all of it off perfectly. scrube hard n makes it nice n shiny too, doesnt damage the paint or anything. ..as for the holes pop down to super cheap auto and get few packs of rubber grommets, does the job perfectly.

There are also some plastic clip in fasteners two on each side if i remember right.There are 4, one in each corner. you can see 3 of them in this pic and where the 4th one is missing. on mine they were VERY tight to the point of the old wing cracking above where one of the plastic clips were.

what reason are you removing it for?

Im taking mine off, its the real square looking one and i don't like the way it makes the car look so square. if i had one of the standard rounded ones i wouldn't hate it so much. but even though the boot was designed to house a spoiler i don't mind the look of them without one

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
