I replaced my wing with a cool new TechArt style wing. I didn't take long. But now the wing retracts unevenly. Anybody know the trick? Maybe I missed something.

 

Oops... I can't help b/c I haven't done mine yet but I hope when I install mine, it's not the same issue

First question is is the blade attached to the top of the piston securely? (if you pull up on it does it move?). If so, have you tried removing the blade to watch the actual piston travel? The main fixes are to try bleeding the hydraulic fluid or full replacement (by a stealer).

 

The same thing happened to me! it looks goofy haha... most likely there are air pockets in the hydraulics. Keep moving it up and down continuously, i sprayed some WD-40 on both pistons and it will over time (meaning less then 24 hours) even itself out. Just keep bringing it up and down until you see some progress.

 

this happened to me also . theres a thread i made on this , do a search .. i loosened up the hyrdraulics and shoke them around .they kinda set them selves.

 

I was wondering about the wD40 thing. I will try that. Because I can push the other side down with very little force. Thanks for the tips guys. when she gets out if the body shop I will try these ideas. I'm not really enjoying the rental chevy impala. I'm going to drive the Lexus.

 

Mine did the same thing when I put the new wing on. I sprayed a little WD40 and it also worked. I find if I leave the wing up for a couple of days it will go down uneven the first time I lower it. Probably dirt or dust on the pistons.

 

Make sure that thing is on TIGHT! I recently sold my wing and put it on the new car and thought it was on tight but it wasn't.
