What was the upshot of the 981 Cayman wing fitting issues?

I am sure this was discussed briefly but I cannot find where.

I saw a few people mentioning their rear wing was not sitting flush when down. Mine seems to have got worse lately.

I’ve tried the trick of manually putting it up and then holding the button down for a while past fully lowered (car stationary) but to no avail.

What happened when others reported this?

Here is mine from this evening, including my other half putting her finger in my gap. Wahey!

I will send an email to the tech at my OPC and see what he says.

It's hardly a show stopper so I would rather avoid the trip if I can until service time or something, but probably best to get it 'on record' sooner rather than later.

Interesting - might try that.

I emailed the OPC this morning but the guy I deal with is on hols until next week. Since it's not a pressing issue, I will wait and see what he has to say on his return.

I just asked for his thoughts on it rather than saying, "The guys on Pistonheads say...".

I forgot to mention that the screw head is one of those star types from memory and not a regular type.

I had one in my cheap screw driver attachments set, so It's not anything unique to Porsche.

I imagine I have one of those somewhere from my days of taking computers apart. Those pesky 'OEM' screws were more common than they used to make out.

Update - diagnostics showed an “electrical fault” with the rear wing. New parts fitted and got the car back. Wing is not as tucked as I would like it, but it’s at least even and better than it was.

Down side is that I got stung for ‘wheel alignment’ to the tune of £150 after the health check and they also tried to charge me £125 for a/c service but when I said get stuffed, they looked at it again and it turns out my air con is not working st all, so I need to book it back in for some potential warranty work.

My OH is not amused. I’m getting it in the neck today...
