Ah yes, the famous roof spoiler....:)

I always use GooGone since it does the job, however WD40 will get you the
same result. I believe those roof spoilers on held on by double sided adhesive
so it should be an easy task. Cleanup may be a bigger job than removal....

park it outside under the sun.. and pull it off - trick is to get the tape to come OFF the glass as you're removing the spoiler

The bigger trick is wishing that his body shop put it on the glass instead of the roof...

Goo Gone will not damage your paint, just don't use paper towels to wipe it
off you'll scratch the clear coat. (old t-shirt) When you get it off and everything is clean now would be a good time to clean/wax your roof for
best results....
