I've noticed that the spoiler on my 991.1 C4S will raise to different heights. It seems completely random which makes me think something funny is going on. It's a difference of a couple of inches. I couldn't find anything stuck in the spoiler to cause interference.

Has anyone else noticed a similar situation? Not necessarily a big deal, but I want to make sure something isn't failing on the spoiler.

Sunroof?

Larry Cable

do you have a sunroof and/or PASM-S?

LexVan

Not fast enough, Larry.

Both PASM-S and sunroof. So does it change the height when the sunroof is open?

Larry Cable

yes PASM-S cars also deploy their spoiler higher than PASM or non-PASM cars (as do Cabriolets)

In my gts, the spoiler deploys to 2 Heights as far as I can tell. The 1st I would call standard height ( >70mph) and to its highest when the sunroof is open. I assume this done to compensate for the change in air flow over the car.

I believe there is a difference in height when in Sport + mode as well.... might be wrong tho.... LOL

LexVan

You are right with the second comment.

For the guys that manually deploy the spoiler around town, do you re-deploy it to the higher position when you crack the sunroof?

I think we all know the unspoken rule of never manually deploying the spoiler.

Larry Cable

I believe that's correct ... I also thought (perhaps wrongly) that PASM-S cars deployed their spoilers at a greater angle of attack

exactly!

Archimedes

So true. Can't remember what YouTube review I was watching, 991 or RS5, but the reviewer is explaining the buttons...

"and this one manually deploys the spoiler if you want to do that around town, which I won't...because I'm not a douche..."

gtSteve

I can't confirm sport vs sport+ deployment. I can only advise that I am 6'3" and I can only see the spoiler in rear view mirror when sunroof is open.
