I took mine off, and after the bolts there was double sided tape around the entire perimeter of the scoop. It was a pain in the ass to take it off IMO, but mainly because I took it off with no plans on putting it back on and had to have the area refinished and painted.

don't force it... I seem to recall more than 3 bolts. IIRC there's 5. In any case, firm upward pressure is usually enough once you've removed all of the nuts. I didn't have any 2 sided tape on mine. Lemme run out to the car and see what I've got.

yes more than three bolts, I think mine had 7 or 8...at least 6. There was definitely adhesive of some sort holding mine down along with the bolts.
