How to remove rear spoiler on SW20?

Hi everyone
 
Summer projects still going. So how do you remove the rear spoiler on a SW20?
 
I have removed the nuts and two screws but it still won't come off. I have shone a torch light under in places where I can lift it slightly and it appears that there still might be a sneaky nut on both corners. Also, I think there is some glue or adhesive tape holding it place.
 
If it is just tape holding it on are there any issues if I do not use tape again when reinstalling the spoiler?
 
Thanks

    What spoiler is it?  If it's the 3 piece on the 91 then there will be about four large nuts, two smaller and (i think) two small screws towards the engine.  
    There will be two clamps at each corner or the boot that hold the wing on - Be very careful when taking this off as it can break.

    Yeah, it is the 3 piece on a 91. It is the two clamps that have me worried.
    I might just leave it alone. There is no need to take it off except to inspect the condition and clean it.

    It is possible to take it off, you just need to take it slowly and be careful with it. Once you've got them the whole middle section should come off. The sides of the wings are a little bit trickier to take off.

    4 screws in the back, 2 10ml bolts above them and 2 smaller screws to the far sides.
