Smile How to remove spoiler on 2012 Fit Sport

Hello all,

This is my first post here, so apologies in advance if I break any posting rules.

I am trying to remove the spoiler from 2012 Fit Sport, but I am kinda stuck after removing two bolts on the top of the spoiler. Any help removing the spoiler would be greatly appreciated.

Praveen

Now, firmly but gently pull and it will pop off. There are tabs/clips that are keeping it in place right now.

I removed the two bolts on top of the spoiler. When I tried to pull the spoiler off, the two clippy-things on the left and right side of the spoiler pop off, but there seem to be two things in the middle that are holding the spoiler down. Are these things in the middle bolts or the clippy-things that I can pull to pop off?

Only two bolts the rest are clips. Just pull and don't drop it when it comes off.

I told you. DON"T drop it. Go get a can of touch up and spray it. No one will notice.

Are touch-up paints available in spray cans? I thought they only came with a nail polish brush.

I will check my local store. I am wondering that the paint from the local auto store won't match my car color exactly.
