Misaligned rear spoiler

[DCYL725]

My rear spoiler for some reason appears to be misaligned with a higher gap on the left side after owning the car for two years. No collision or impact at the area, (that I know of) anyone else have this issue? It was previously aligned and even in height on both sides when retracted.

It’s rarely used I must say as I am on normal mode most of the time.

Will attach photos sometime later.

Edit: added the photos. The left side is visibly higher and larger gap than the right. Can you guys also confirm for me?

I had the same. Porsche replaced the lower plastic part on warranty to fix it.

That spoiler isn't active is it?

I guess it is not active. The initial lower plastic part, the black on the bottom of the spoiler, was not robust against humidity and freezing. This caused similar deformation in the first winter on our MY21 from November 20. The replacement part works now since 3 years without problems.

Operating principle
The rear spoiler improves driving stability at high speeds. Depending on the vehicle speed and the selected drive mode, the rear spoiler is automatically extended or retracted.

Does anyone have any pics of this spoiler extended?

If you know someone who has access to PIWIS, you could try executing the "teach rear spoiler" function to see if that will resolve the issue.

Even at its highest level, you won't see anything from the driver's seat. Get someone to follow you and snap photos, above 50mph in Sport + mode.

Is this only for Turbo's and higher? Just curious....

Thanks for the details and response.

It has been very humid going into the summer season here and also rained for close to two weeks straight. The robustness under humidity is likely the culprit and will send this over to Porsche to get it fixed under warranty.

If Porsche China declines I may need some help in terms of providing more information from you. Thank you so much again, I thought there something wrong with my eyes.

Standard across all model ranges.

never going to activate the intermediate and final stages…

No, it’s not active. It is in the default closed position.

I think the pic shows stage 1?
