Deck Lid/Spoiler Dash LED - Gemballa Spoiler

[Doug996InKC]

I just purchased my first Porsche - a 2000 911 C2 Cabriolet (attached)

A few questions on the Gemballa spoiler:

1. The spoiler dash light turns on and off periodically, even when traveling between 30 and 45 MPH. Is there a way to override the sensor, since there's no moving spoiler anymore?

2. The engine release lever doesn't actually "release". I have to pull it and have my wife lift up the wing to I can get to the engine (she wasn't too happy about that "this is a Porsche!" is all I heard...) Any way to make that release? Install a different shock or something?

Thanks!

this one is for the hood, but the rear may also need some adjustment:

I have the same spoiler and the same problem. What I do is lift the rear trunk lever and stick something under it while I go the back of the car. That way, I don't get ridiculed that my over priced spoiler doesnt come with shocks that have enough power to lift it.

Thanks for the info guys! Renntech forum is very informative.

Our '01 Gemballa conversion has a very similar spoiler and the deck lid release does work and the struts do support it. Here is a pic of the deck lid & spoiler. There is hope for it working! Probably a good adjustment and some stronger hood struts will do the trick.

I was doing some clean up in the engine compartment today and took a look at the strut that is holding up our spoiler with easy effort....would it be helpful to you guys if I posted the part number from the strut? There is only a single strut on the right side of the deck lid.

Yes, please post the part number. Also, do you know where to buy the rubber, adjustable, screw-in stops? I'm missing one, and 3 of the auto part stores I went to don't even offer a generic version.

BTW, I took the car to Imagine Auto in Lenexa, Kansas this week to have the Gemballa break light wired up and the harness repinned so the dash light wouldn't keep coming on. As my first experience at Imagine, I can tell you the folks are good people, reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.

I purchased the car approximately one month ago, and the spoiler was already installed. I don't have a lot of experience with the various after-market wings, but it appears to be a quality product. It's an aggressive looking spoiler. I'm happy with it. Also, you'll notice the air scoops on either side are functional. I would hope that extra air (at highway speeds) makes up for the extra weight the spoiler adds to the car.
