There is one large black torx bolt either side. (I think you just open the glass hatch to see them.

Better take it off to find out why.

Am I right in thinking if I needed to replace the camera or brake light you don’t separate the painted part from the black part

No you do not need to split the spoiler to change the camera or brake light, but obviously you do need to remove it from the vehicle to change either.

Just removed the spoiler and found the adhesive that holds the black part to the painted parts had come loose so I have used a strong adhesive to bond them back together

Thanks Cosmo15555, my 2010 is the same with both half’s seeming to part - will apply the adhesive when it stops raining outside! |

Well the adhesive I used was not strong enough! driving along at 50mph loud bang at the back as the spoiler detached and blew off leaving (thankfully) the camera dangling on the rear windscreen on its cable. Phoned Duckworth LR at Market Rasen who said pop down for a look. They inspected it, ordered a new spoiler under warranty (This is a 2010 RRS!) Spoiler currently being painted should get it fixed this week with new adhesive as per the recent recall - all FOC |

As mentioned, this problem has been the subject of a recall for some time now.
