Default OEM Speed Pack Spoiler Lift

Is anyone else getting this when they leave the rear of the car facing the sun? Once its back in the shade it flattens out again.

I am not experiencing that...my car sits in the sun every day.

Maybe some strong double sided tape on the tail light will hold it down? Since it is rising in the heat, there must be some tension there pushing it up when the heat of the sun makes it more pliable. However, I'm not so sure it should become that pliable...

Perhaps you should show the pic to a dealer and see if they would replace the spoiler. It might be a manufacturing defect.

Mike....that little lift is for heavy braking as it helps slow down the car a'la the McLaren MP4-12C.

I don't remember seeing it on mine. I'll have to check when it's sunny out.

Hey Mike...so I checked my speed pack spoiler and while it was in the sun I didn't see any lift.

If you see the pic below of my OEM speed back spoiler you can see that....oops...wrong pic. My bad!

Great pic! Good game and all that good sportsmanship crap as I grit my teeth.

It was a great NHL Series from the playoffs up to the cup. Congrats to you Ghost and the city of Chicago.

Mike...two evenly matched teams. A few games here and there (game 1 and 6) could have swayed Boston's way and we would be celebrating a Bruin's Stanley Cup. Bergeron playing with a cracked rib, torn cartilage, seperated shoulder and a punctured lung....Wow!
