how can i remove my hamman trunk lip. i want to change up the ride a bit this summer and im looking to remove the lip. i installed it with the epoxy/glue that came with the lip. bought it aftermarket from dealer on ebay. good quality and was easy to install but im afraid ill do damage to the lip or worse the trunk. anyone have any good tips? thanx

Well first off I hate to say it but you should have used the search button...

But to answer your question use floss or fishing line, run it underneath the lip to "cut" the glue. Try goo gone to remove the glue (there are a number of other solvents that will work also), not sure the epoxy was the best thing to use for install as you may find out soon how hard it is to remove.

your right, i searched after i posted. thanx for the info. ill try the fishing line. is it worth it to try to heat up the area that is glued? i have a heat gun but im afraid that it will get too hot and melt something.

i prob used the wrong word, it wasnt epoxy. there was no mixing. it was the glue they gave with the lip. some type of adhesive.
