Spoiler motor aye...


I guess you can add that money to your pot. It's not in my manual.

They've either added a motor assy or they've pulled a shifty with claiming extra funds from your insurance company or its just a mistake typo.
I'm curious to what their answer would be.

I have attached two photos of the damaged part. There is an option of w/GT4 and w/out. The version for the GT4 does not have the motors, the other one does. I can assure you that it is not a mistake. Click the link below and look at the parts screen. Number 4 is the drive assy.

Here is the pic of mine:




You can see it clearly in the original picture (Post 1) of my car at the scene of the accident.

So it sounds like (and looks like from the exploded view) that the spoiler raiser assembly is installed on GT4 but no motor is installed to raise it.

That's no spoiler motor... lol So in the end they mis- ID'd a part.

Happy to see the car back home!

Well to be fair, all the paperwork calls it a drive assembly, which is how the Porsche exploded drawing identifies it. When I asked what that means, the service writer "freelanced" with his answer, confusing it with a regular 981, and used the term "motor."

When I questioned him today about it, he didn't reach into his well of maturity and admit his error in claiming it was a motor, instead getting a little riled up at my questioning it ("I assure you there was no mistake...").

At any rate, the official paperwork is right, and the official work that was done was necessary. So I'm happy.

Thanks! Me too. Off to barber motorsports Park at the end of the month. Glad I'll have at home a little while before heading to the track.

James88

Very good, glad it all worked out well for you. I must say that was a very quick turnaround with the repairs.

BryanCO

Yep, that makes sense.

Good to know that didn't just screw up nor were dishonest.

I just put the spoiler up for sale on The 'Bay if anybody's interested. Search for GT4 rear wing.

Cheers!

NoGaBiker

With just a day left it's at twenty-something bucks. So if anybody wants a wing (sans endcaps and risers) for chump change here's your chance.

Viperguy324

I don't see it.

Thanks. I didn't know if I could link an auction or not and didn't want to break the rules.

No idea why it did not come up under my searches .. Thanks! Must be my location. Will make a nice shelf in my garage.
