It is 2 different pieces. That is the most common issue in the nutshell. The upper cover separates from the main housing. There have also been instances where car wash rollers have weakened the mounting studs from the housing and the entire housing comes free leaving the brake light wiring hanging.
I doubt there are schematics or a break down. The spoiler is a single part number and only available as a complete assembly.
If you need to remove the whole spoiler:
There are three 10mm nuts that need to be removed when the entire tailgate is open (look up - you'll see them)
Then there are two torx bolts that need to be removed when just the window hatch is open. (on either side)
Unplug the wiring and windscreen washing hose and you can investigate this spoiler separation further.
Best of luck!
Had this same thing happen 6 months ago. Dealer admitted that this is a KNOWN problem. I had to go to LRNA and COMPLAIN.......they finally covered *most* of the replacement, etc. I think in the end it cost me like $100 instead of the $2200 the dealer was quoting.

Many thanks! I've done it and was amazed how fragile the 2 pieces are together! Took it to the dealer to glue them. I stress out that LR should assume the cost of repair (even if it's 5 euros) because it's a well known issue.
So I'm driving my 45k mile Cpo range last week down freeway when all the sudden my rear spoiler flies off. Backup camera starts swinging by the wire and I can see it flailing in the wind in rear view. I knew this was going to be more maintenance than normal but body parts just flying off?
Anyway called dealer they said they don't cover body parts under Cpo so where do I get this part from now and what should I order. I can put it on and paint it if need be. Im in Ohio

Can I ask what dealer admitted this was a known issue please? I'm in the middle of a nightmare with JLR after mine flew off on the freeway. JLR claim they have never heard of this issue so I'm gathering as much evidence as I can to call them out on it.
