2012 MDX Rear Spoiler help
 
Ok,

So my wife decided to remodel the garage door backing out and hit the rear spoiler (on top of the rear gate). So, two questions..

1) Can you remove the lamp lense? If so, how? If this can be done it can be repaired and repainted pretty easily.

2) Failing, #1, how to you remove and install a new spoiler? You can buy them from Acura painted, but didn't take a good look on how to R/R.

Thanks.

Wow, I thought I was the only one, LOL. Found this thread late, but any updates?

I've no write ups, yet, but my wife backed the car out too quickly while the garage door was opening and the bottom of the door hooked onto the spoiler, ripping it out. Thankfully the wiring and tube going to the brake light and washer nozzle were fine, the grommet just popped out. In any case, I've looked at it and looks like I need to replace the hardware and maybe check the spacers and weather stripping. Found two nice resources for diagrams and part numbers:
