   hi guys and gals,
   
   I recently bought a lemon of a VTR so have now bought another but it has a windscreen mounted spoiler so want to take off my other one and use that.
   
   it appears to me to be attached to the top of the tail gate rather than the glass but I cant find the fixings inside the tailgate?? I have removed the rubber tubes between the roof and lid but cant see any fixings in it I can feel something but it seems in such a place that I cant figure out if its a nut and bolt, screw or just mastic'd down but it is on there pretty damn solid also as and when I remove the red spoiler ill end up with 2 small holes in the screen how can I fill them ??

   whats it bonded with as had a tug earlier and it is solid but didn't want to pull to hard as didn't potentially want to break it off because it does feel like theres maybe a locating pin inside the tailgate surrounded by best I can describe like silicone similar to wat is visible on the outside under the spoiler where it attaches to the body

   It'll be bonded with tiger seal, strong stuff! If there's no pin through the glass, then you need to cut it out, get a blade in between!

   Red one has a bolt either side of the spoiler on the inside of the glass. Blue one is bonded on

   ok that's what I was thinking so what could I use to fill the holes in the glass once I remove the red spoiler ??
