Come to Miami and park outside in the sun for a couple of hours J/K, use a heat gun and maybe dental floss.

Be careful using the dental floss. I had a hard time using this and it never worked for me. When I tried to use a sawing motion with the floss in a up/down motion, it cut into the rounded edge of the trunk. This was a "brilliant" idea that you shouldn't do.

I used masking tape to protect the paint on the trunk. Two layers to be safe. Then I used a 2" plastic spatula from Home Depot and jabbed it in the gap of the spoiler. Surprisingly enough this never scratched the paint beneath the spoiler. Once you get the top, edge and bottom off, you should be able to remove the spoiler.

I think with Goo gone, heat and the spatula method, it will make this process a lot easier.

Also, to remove the remaining tape from the surface, pull it like you would a rubber band. Say you're trying to remove tape from the top of the trunk. Remove some tape from the right edge and pull to the right in a horizontal direction. This will stretch the foam tape and it will peel off easier. Pulling it up vertically will just cause the foam to break.

Good luck
