Default 2003 Rear spoiler removal

I am parting out my wrecked 2003 touring car and sold the rear spoiler but can't seem to get it off. I've removed the 2 nuts I found under the inside panel but it still won't come off. I'm suspecting an adhesive. Can someone please let me know the simplest and least destructive (to both the spoiler and the trunk) way to remove the spoiler. Thanks.

Take a hair dryer or heat gun and heat up the adhesive under the spoiler slowly. Use some fishing line or a credit card, since the car is totaled anyways, and pull it up.

Lots of double sided tape also holds it on.

I seem to remember at least 4 bolts when I did my write up on installing this lip about 6 or 7 years ago. Do a search & use a piece of fishing line.
