Default Rear Spoiler Mechanical Issue

Regarding my 2013 Panamera spoiler operation. It goes up and down fine, but the knuckles for both rods under the wing surface for extending them to the up and out position have become disconnected to the mechanism that would push them out or in under the center cover. I'd like to get under that cover to see what's going on under there and hopefully reconnect the wings, but I am interested in any advice before I start prying away.

thanks in advance for help here

What i will say is go real real slow. My previous Panamera did not have the extra extension, but I went at it hard trying to fix the initial lift and caused more damage than good. Search the YouTube videos and again take your time.

Thx Rick. I had this new-to-me Panny at my local indy for a general inspection and since the tech was familiar with these spoilers, I had them fix the linkage and recalibrate it. ...and it's fine now.

In order to message, you will need to increase your use profile and perhaps pay a fee. Personally, I subscribe to the two-year membership, as the tech service is unmatched.
