Default 997.2 GT3 RS wing adjustment??

I've searched online but can't really get a straight answer. Is the rear wing (pic below) that comes on the 997.3 GT3 RS adjustable or not? It doesn't seem that the uprights have any slot that the wing could pivot about. If it is adjustable, how do you adjust it and how much range is there?

Remove back bolts and there is an adjustment slot

I was initially skeptical as well. But once you loosen the rear torx bolts you'll realize the mount's a slit not a regular screw hole. Hence it pivots.

To add to what folks above said - it does not move very much, maybe a couple degrees. I've never had a Aero on a car so I didn't know what to expect when I adjusted it - but was still surprised how little adjustability was there.

Thanks guys. That makes sense as you can clearly see there is not much room in the rear tabs to move up and down since they are so short. Is the adjustment slot in the rear of the uprights or is it in the rear tabs mounted to the wing?

The slots are on the wing.

The uprights just have round screw holes.

Doesn't take much force--loosen rear screws, apply gentle but firm force on wing and lift.
