Is it possible to keep rear spoiler always up on 997.1 & other OEM question
SubscribeI like the look of the rear spoiler up, is there any way of making it stay in the up position so I don't have to push the button every time I drive it ?
Also I am trying to figure this out, sometimes I put the spoiler in the up position, then park and it stays up but then I start the car on my next drive and it comes down so I need to push the button again ... my question is sometimes it actually stays up and doesn't come down on the next drive ...
Why would it stay up once in a while and then sometimes goes down after I park and restart again ...
There is not much in the manual about this ... TIA

I like to change a lot of things on a 997 but that's one I would recommend leaving alone....

Thanks for those who responded, what is strange about the directions below is it says nothing about the spoiler lowering itself when in Manual mode.

If ,while the spoiler is up in manual mode, you exceed the factory set deployment speed, the spoiler retruns to automatic mode and returns to the down position once your speed goes under 37 MPH.Originally Posted by af330i

Thank you for letting me know this ... it seems though when I don't hit the deployment speed it automatically goes down after I park and then restart.Originally Posted by Dadio

While parked it stays in the up position, it is when I actually restart the car, it then goes down.

Handy if you want to clean around there. It goes down for a reason. Some think it looks cool up at low speed or stopped, but that's green mode - and I don't mean in an environmentally responsible sort of way.
