Spoiler Failure...

Got the Gemballa spoiler on and it looks great!
I have got an issue coming up now "Spoiler Failure" I had it once or twice
in the past, but it's come on straight away now! when it's down the right
hand side is slightly lower than the left (attached pic). Everthing is
mounted correctly so I dont know whats wrong with it. It does sound like the motors run for 1/2 seconds before lowering and rising, which it didn't do before on the standard lid. I'm going to try and lubricate the sliders to see if this helps in any way, but really trying to find someone with the same kinda issues.

Would prefer to disconnect the bloody thing so it's always up! Anyone have a link for disable?

is the spoiler screwd on correctly? I know its funcky and u need special tools... I dont think u have one of the side turned all the way... u turn the metal tube that goes up and down and tahst how the top spoiler locks in place.. one side is not locke in all the way...I had a similar issue...I also had the failure.... disconnent the battery and then drive it for a while so it cycles thru as well... should work.

Nope! everything in position correctly, what I did notice is the right hand hydraulic (the one sitting lower) leaves a fraction of a second first when raising the spoiler, which is catching up with the one that is ever so slightly raised. I don't know what's going on with the bloody thing, starting to do my nut in now!

Anyone have a link or know how to deactivate the spoiler, when my spoiler is up, its sitting level so I might just keep it in up position.
