How is the Performance spoiler mounted to the hatch? Is it glued or bolted on?

EDIT: I found the parts diagram image and it looks like the spoiler is bolted in place, based on the holes drawn on the hatch.

Are you getting a new wing?
No, planning how to do PPF on the rear hatch. Would be nice to be able to lift or remove the spoiler so that the PPF can be tucked neatly underneath, but if the spoiler is only glued on, that probably won't be a good idea.

About to remove mine tomorrow. Just get it PPFed with it, there are 4 bolts and the entire surface seems to be double sided taped.

On that note, Does anyone know any tricks for getting it off and mounting a new one?
Got a boosted6 wang in the mail and realised just how stuck that factory spoiler is.

Heat gun and fishing line. Itll come right off (be patient).

Got it sorted, more fishing line and a razor blade. but the heat gun would have made life easier. managed to remove it without breaking a single standard clip. Nissan really didn't want it coming off naturally at any point. 😅

I followed the Z1 instructions on removal (linked below), and they were spot on. Definitely a 2 person job, but easy enough with a bit of patience.

The boosted6 wing looks good IMO. It's amazing how much crap was under the stock wing after only 3500kms and 3 months.
The stock wing is very overdone and made of 2 parts, a lot of screws and a bunch of clips.
