Default Spyder wing will not retract

just back from detailer after getting ceramic coating, with a "spirited" freeway drive the wing deployed but it will not retract now.

dash button just flashes pathetically, of course I have a T-designs module installed so that probably has to come out before the dealer sees it...

Oh boy....I just received my T-design module. Might not install if this issue is related to the module. Also, didn’t this same issue happen to another RL’er?

its not in service mode... it merely wont retract

but is there not a correlation between washing the car and the wing not retracting???

What we really need is someone to program a controller to put the spoiler into service mode at speeds above 120mph and when braking above 60%.
Yeah, those are arbitrary numbers, but I'd pay for it, especially coming into Turn 12 at COTA. You start breaking above 140 and then corner under 40 mph.

I will try that before I pull the T-designs, but lets face it, it should have auto retracted when I dropped out of warp...
