S212 Estate rear spoiler removal

[Rainmaster]

Hi, my rear washer has started to dispense the water through the high brake light on the rear window which appears to be a common fault. How do you remove the rear spoiler to get at the pipe to re fit it.

If it is similar to my S204, the entire high level brake light assembly will prise out, with the washer assembly, as one unit.
You can then get to the pipework - it is all accessible from outside the car, with no need to remove the interior tailgate trim.
It does not come out easily. I first used gaffa tape to shield the paintwork, then used a metal spatula to prise it loose, working along the top of the light unit. If it is not assembled as one unit like my S204 - then ignore my comments!

When I open the rear hatch there are 2 nuts 1 either side which I feel does keep the spoiler in place, I am more concerned about the wiring for the high level brake light. Thanks for your response.
