dont buy it - it can’t be used with a mountain bike due mainly I think to the long wheelbase of those types of bikes.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

This picture explains it all. I’d like to use the Sea Sucker bike rack once in a while and it just works if spoiler stays down. I don’t want to find out what happens if the spoiler is activated. Is there a non permanent way to keep it down?

POST 3Original post

This. Shouldn't be exceeding those speeds with a suction cup bike mount anyway. I believe if you manually raise and lower the spoiler, that it will retain the position you left it in for the remainder of that drive cycle. But I could be wrong... You could also pull the fuse. I know on the 986 , the fuse is for the spoiler and rear trunk release. So keep your helmet and water bottle in the frunk. I can't confirm if this is the same for the 987 though.

POST 4Original post

Fuse F3 on the 987.2 , and yes, it also controls rear control unit, rear lid release and two-tone horns.

POST 5Original post

A long delayed reply on this. Given how much I love my Porsche and the ability to transport a bike, I ended up buying another Sea Sucker rack - the Komodo, which is eye wateringly expensive but oh, so versatile and elegant. Its design clears the spoiler, not that I want to drive fast enough to trigger it. But the other Sea Sucker I had was tricky mounting for the wheel holder below the spoiler - not confidence inspiring.

POST 6Original post

Just a question. How long, how frequently are you using this? With only one road bike? I have concerns that the Sea Sucker might dent/deform the trunk and hood cover on the long run. I would use it with 29' mountain bike

POST 7Original post

@tdinya dont buy it - it can’t be used with a mountain bike due mainly I think to the long wheelbase of those types of bikes. My gravel bike will fit barely. No deformation though - but I only put it on for transport and keep the trunk clear the rest of the time. To transport a mountain bike I suspect the Bike Racks for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, Audi TT, Jaguar F Type, BMW Z4, and other Sports Cars is the only solution for you.
