How to remove hood scoop

[broncan]

I recently bought myself a 2022 bronco and has a hood scoop on it, I don’t know how it was installed and what products was used, anyone ever take one off ? I don’t want to damage the paint obviously…

If it’s just the accessory “hood scoop” that Ford sells, it’s simply held on by double sided tape.

I saw that there’s a possibility of abs glue also… on the ones they sell on Amazon.

Pictures would help. But if it is just the faux hood scoop to add +5HP, then you can remove it as it is held in place by double-sided tape. Take a heat gun and warm up the perimeter and remove it. There will likely be some residue.

A heat gun is essential but use the lower heat setting and keep it moving. Don’t hold it too close or in one spot for too long. Plastic razor blades can be helpful too, to get under the tape edge and get the peel-off started.

Another thing you can do after you heat it up is run fishing line or some sort of cord around it. It can cut through the double-sided tape. Of course then you still have to deal with getting the tape off.

it's like 10HP I hear, but willing to lose it.

I just got my Bronco, but I added and removed a lot of 3D printed trim on the hood of my Ranger. I got pretty good at removing those items (including fake hood scoops) using fishing line, heat gun and adhesive remover. A was said earlier, take great care with the heat gun. I use it only if the double sided tape is being really stubborn. Don't use it to loosen the tape from the hood scoop as you will deform it.

I wrote up my process for removing trim and badges...hope this helps!

Sounds like these... They're supposed to boost the HP as well:

Just an update , I finally removed it …. It was 2 sided tape x2 and windshield glue! It took 2 hours with a plastic blade , patience and 3m adhesive remover. But it’s off
