Rear Spoiler Spring

2012 991 Cabriolet.

Driving home tonight, I started getting a 'check high mounted stop lamp' message. When I got home, I noticed the rear spoiler was not all the way down on the driver's side. I had been on the freeway so I expect the spoiler was up and down.

I put it up manually and it was fine, but it hung up again going down. I finally discovered that there is a large coil spring on each side, and the one on the drivers side was not behind the tab it is supposed to press against. I tried to put it back but it was not tight which leads me to believe the other end (which is not visible) is either broken or off of it's proper perch.

Anyone have a similar issue with their rear spoiler? Is the spoiler for the Cab different from the coupe?
I am coming up to 30k miles and I am planning to take off the rear bumper when I do spark plugs and check belts, hoses, etc., so hopefully it will be easier to get to then.

If the spring is broken, I can't wait to see what Porsche charges for this $5 part!
