M Pro Spoiler Excess Betalink
Hey everyone,
I had my dealer install the M Pro spoiler the day I picked the car up. It looks like the betalink wasn’t wiped off and oozed from the underside of the spoiler. Any ideas on how to get that off apart from removal and replacement? I’m worried about paint damage if it were removed, but I’m not sure what else could be done. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! |

Try various plastic trim removal tools to scrape it off.
I had a little of it that I was scraping off a day or two later. However, that is a piss poor job by the dealer.

I recommend you take it back to them and have them fix it. They should not charge you since they are the ones that did the installation. If you try to scrape it off, you could possibly damage the paint.

Would you expect the trunk to need to be repainted? I’d want the same style spoiler in the same spot, so etching immediately under the spoiler wouldn’t matter to me so much. I just don’t know how that betalink would be removed.

The dealership body shop should be able to clean/remove the excess betalink without damaging the paint. But I would definitely not try to scrape it off without using maybe a heat gun and some betalink chemical remover.

I talked to my dealer and sent the pictures. Service didn’t like how it looked and they are going to let me bring it back in. I’m not sure what the plan is yet, but it sounds like they’re planning to take care of it one way or another!
I felt bad texting my salesman but he’s been awesome and got it set up right away. |

I haven’t done the front lip that BMW recommends with the spoiler… I just don’t know if I’m sold on the look. And it’s an expensive look to achieve! Thanks everyone. |
