Q: What does a car spoiler look like?
A: A spoiler looks like an inverted aircraft wing that’s attached to the back of a car. It’s typically attached to the rear window, roof, or trunk.
The spoiler got its name because it spoils or disrupts the airflow that causes turbulence, resulting in a downforce that improves a vehicle’s traction or stability.
Spoilers can appear different, depending on the type. Some of the most common ones include lip, pedestal, ducktail, roof, whale tail, gurney flap, and classic mounted wing spoilers.
Tips On How to Access the Spoiler
Many vehicles today have built-in spoilers, which might not be everybody’s cup of tea. Here are some things you might want to keep in mind if you’re looking for a way to remove yours.
You can use a heat gun to melt or soften the adhesive and run a fishing line underneath the spoiler to remove it.
Make sure to pull upward to avoid scratching the vehicle’s paint. Once removed, you can proceed with cleaning the area with car shampoo or a degreaser to remove the gunk.
