Question Spoiler Shake

Hey guys,

I added a techart (lip/wing) to my electrically operated spoiler and I am noticing the spoiler shakes an awful lot. I am not sure if this is just because I can now see the lip of the spoiler over the back of my cab or whether the dampers/struts on the stock spoiler are shot?

anyone know about this that can help me?

I feel like getting the Cabrio Aero Kit with the fixed wing spoiler.....

Makes me wonder if adding the Techart piece isn't causing aerodynamic forces on the factory retractable wing that it wasn't designed for. The factory wing does shake a bit anyway, and with more weight, drag, etc. to deal with it may just be making things worse and more obvious.

OZ, I have a Khan Techart spoiler lip. It does the same. Judging by the extendable rubber thing under the stock extractable wing, I would say this condition is normal. This rubber thing looks like it is supposed to take up the "bounce" or buffeting. I think any wing that isn't "fixed" will shake some. But mine's been like this for 3 years and it still does the same thing. So don't worry about it.

Default Spoiler dampers

has anyone changed out the spoiler dampers or know that this is how the struts work??

Thanks for the advice so far.
