The spoiler creates windnoise when driving at speed of 40mph or greater. Has anyone experienced this? If so, does removing the spoiler reduce the noise?

Once you gain access to the lower mounting brackets, use a 10mm socket to losen the bolts, then remove the wing, and fill the holes properly. Remember, the holes may make more noise than the wing if you fill them incorrectly.

Try looking underneith where it is mounted, it should just be a few nuts that attach to bolts attached to the spoiler, some wrenches, and or sockets should be all you'd need, just be ware there will be holes in the body that will need to be filled, you could probably just cover them with clear RTV if you want a quick fix to try it out.

It could be the cause of your wind noise, you might try finding a used one without a spoiler, drive it and see if it has the same noise.
