I can hear it scraping the lip and distorting it to the point it seperates from the plastic button holding it to other pieces. I have tried coming in at all angles.

What are my options?

-Remove entire plastic lip guard
-Back in?
-do they make a higher lip guard?

Is it a DIY pop off or does dealer have to do it.

Thanks
The air deflectors are super easy to remove, and you don't need a lift, though you might want a jack and stands. ( you can do it with a ratchet, socket and an extension without jacking up the car, if you are good at working blind)

But they are super easy to trim, and you can easily do it with a pair of tin snips that you can get at the hardware store. Even just an inch trimmed makes a world of difference.

I try not to remove them entirely, as they are there to aid in cooling, and to help cut down under car wind noise.

Thanks,
Mitch
