I'm pretty sure you're indicating all the correct fasteners: (4) thru the glass, (2) at each hatch glass hinge. There's also some double sided tape holding that thing to the glass.
Well i'm clearly a failure. I just tried the 3d time with the instructions I downloaded from here and it's not coming off.
I hope I'm using the correct terminology...
I Want to remove the upper outer "spoiler" piece above the rear window hatch. I have removed the bolts and screws and struts. I'm lifting upwards and the upper outer "spoiler" is only slightly moving but just won't remove totally at all. I'm afraid to pull too hard break the glass. I tried a fish filet knife to cut the adhesive tape from the outside of the window and the spoiler is SO TIGHTLY flushed against the rear window i can barely insert the blade. sigh.
I uploading this last pic....i'm pretty sure the problem is that the hinge that attaches to the rear glass (no bolts or screw access as seen) is preventing me from lifting off the spoiler...
