Default Hidden Place to Clean and Detail

As I am always keeping the car clean, I just stumbled upon an area of the car that until today has eluded me, the area under the spoiler! As this is only open when I am driving, I have totally forgotten about it when cleaning and detailing the car. I opened it today, as I had broken the retaining tabs on one of the two plastic covers that need to be removed when removing the rear bumper and I said 'Oh crap!' I immediately got out the cleaning supplies and properly addressed the area.
I know I can't see it when driving but the guy behind me can.........and he never told me!

Tom in Reno

Just haven't got around to changing the frame yet. Not really advertising as most people in Reno shop locally. I got my car in Rocklin as the dealer here very rarely has any used 911's and this was years ago. Niello has treated mw fine over the years so no complaints here.
Thanks for the knock on the head as I will get that CF frame ordered today!

Be careful cleaning that area.

There are two small rubber bump stops there that are easily dislodged from their spots. Did that just with a soapy cloth. Imagine that they keep the spoiler from moving around and contacting other surfaces.

Found one but its mate was nowhere to be seen. Porsche parts advised that the individual stops aren’t for sale. Made do with some from Amazon, weren’t a good fit but worked them in.

If you see two small holes in the black strip that is opposite/below the spoiler bottom edge, you’re missing the stops.
