Question 2001 rear spoiler removal ?

Hey all, good day. I have a trunk leak and have determined after a lot of looking, I've got a little rust on the four bolts inside the trunk that screw into the spoiler. I removed the 4 bolts and the spoiler will not lift or slide off. Does anyone know if I have to loosen something else around the high mount stop light right underneath the spoiler? If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! Peace and Thanks

you may have some kind of adhesive holding it down also?
