Default Rear wing won't go down all the way

My car is 3-4 months old and has about 3,800 miles. Today I noticed the rear wing doesn't go down all the way at the top. Is this an easy fix or do I have to goto the dealer?

Is there something stuck somewhere?
Small pebble, twig, pigeon?

Do you have a concrete block?

I checked and nope, it seems to be getting worse though.

To set on top? I already tried something similar after noticing the problem.

Lap top no good. Try desk top.

Just drive to southeast Florida and park it at any restaurant valet, no one will notice! Sorry - that wasn't helpful... hope it is something minor...maybe a faulty sensor prematurely telling the motor the spoiler is down?

In Miami I can prob just the wing off another 991.


I noticed there are some screws on he bottom of the wing but I think Ill just take it to the dealer since Im also having the intermittent heat issue.

There are rubber "feet" under the spoiler. They ar threaded and spin in/out for adjustment. Maybe yours is all the way out and holds the spoiler up a bit in the front corner? Looks like be back corner is aligned?
