Spoiler Question

[PorscheInSeattle]

I have a 2002 Boxster S. How do I manually operate the spoiler? Is there anything I can do to stop it from coming out at 75mph? I installed a bike rack and it can potentially get in the way.

Appreciate any input.

The manual control for the spoiler is down on the drivers side, next to the wheel well. There is a cut-out in the fuse panel cover, and you can press the top of the switch to raise, and press and hold it on the bottom to lower it.

As for changing the extension and retraction speeds, or temporarily disabling it, I'm pretty sure that you'd need a PST2 or PIWIS for that. There isn't anything on the car to do it that I'm aware of. You can manually lower it though with the switch.

One thing you could do is when you have the bike rack on, simply pull the fuse for the spoiler. You may get (others may be able to confirm) a light on the dash with the fuse pulled once you are past 75. The car may still call for the spoiler to come up, and with the fuse pulled it won't, so you may get the spoiler light coming on. But once the fuse is back in, it should be fine and clear on its' own.

Other may have other ideas though.

Agree fuse out. You will get the spoiler light.
