How do you remove the M Performance Side Splitter Flaps?

burgm240 · 08-19-2025, 04:01 PM

Hello everyone. I am having issues removing the side splitter flappers to my car. I understand that beta link is a pain to remove. I have no choice because I want to replace the side flappers because they are cracked. Does anyone recommend any methods of getting the side flaps out along w the beta link? Thank you!

I see you have a hair dryer, a heat gun would be better. Try sliding some dental floss behind it to cut through the foam tape.
