Exclamation URGENT: How do I keep my wing up??

I think this has been answered before but if you want to put your wing up and keep it up isn't there some fuse or something you pull to keep it that way? I know I can manually put it up, but eventually it will auto back down and right now I can't have that as my Strosek wing will hit the body on the new M's GT3 rear bumper that has a bigger duck tail on it. I need to get a bigger spacer made to raise my wing up a little higher. We can get clearance but only with 3 threads engaged and I want more than that to support the wing so I need a bigger extension (how many guys admit to that? ) but in the mean time I need to keep the wing up, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance for whomever has the answer!

I don't believe that there is a way unless you remove the spoiler fuse but I seem to remember that it controls other things as well.

Wingagra, but take it in for service immediately, if it stay up for more than 4 hours.

guess the only way for sure is to raise the spoiler then pull out the multi plug to the motor accessable from behind the carpet trim bottom left.

Sounds like a personal problem to me, but I'm told it's a fairly common affliction to men over the age of 40.

The PIWIS disable will only disable the wing in the DOWN position, not UP. So pulling the motor relay may be the only way to do it, but I bet that produces an error of some sort, I'll try it out later to see. I merely need to get the car home for now and stick the factory wing (which will clear) back on until I get some longer extensions made for the Strosek wing.

BTW we cleared the last hurdle with the install of the front bumper, the info we've discovered will be valuable to others thinking about installing aftermarket front bumpers. I'll try to get it all summed up in the forthcoming article as soon as I can.

If you just want to get it home can't you maually raise it? Won't it stay that way until you cut the engine? Or take the spoiler off and lay it in the hatch for this one journey.

What a day! What a day! First I read that there are imposters on the forum and then I find out that K-man S doesn’t know how to keep his wing up. What is the world coming to? Just kidding.

If you put the wing up with the switch what causes it to come back down . . . what sequence of events? I put the wing in the raised position when I clean the car and it does not go back down when I turn off the ignition. I have to push the switch to make it come back down. Of course I haven’t been driving down the road so maybe that’s the difference.

Raise the wing by pressing the switch inside. THEN, here's the tricky part, put a brick or piece of wood jammed up between it and the body. If it tries to go down it will only do it at the ends at least and then you can show everybody your new v-wing that was 'modelled' in an F1 wind tunnel. Btw - sorry to hear about the extension problem. 'Wingagra' - LOL!

You can always count on me for an 'out of the box(ster)' solution.

If you keep rubbing your wing, it can stay up for ever. Just use a high grade carnuba wax.

Ken, don't you love the practical advice you get from this crew?

You see, that's the trouble when the Guru asks a legit question. Who can answer?

So, you don't get an answer you can use, but what a great and fun community you have created! Thanks for doing it!

PS, I hope you get help with your wing. I haven't got a clue.
