I assume this is something that needs to be lubricated every once in a while (like on my Corrado), so what is the correct procedure to do this?

You can run a jumper wire from there to the upper center console and get a Turbo spoiler switch to install in the horseshoe.

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.

I was cleaning under the spoiler today, and I noticed that when I raised it up, it creaked a bit. I put some synthetic bearing grease on the runners, but I think it's the inner pieces that need the lubrication.
I assume this is something that needs to be lubricated every once in a while (like on my Corrado), so what is the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks,

Little hi-jacking...
I don't have the manual button to raise my spoiler. Is there anybody with a DIY to install one ?
If not how can I raise this thing manually
Their is a spoiler button on the left side of the driver's footwell on the fuse cover. You can run a jumper wire from there to the upper center console and get a Turbo spoiler switch to install in the horseshoe.
Check out this link.
Spoiler Switch Install
First I wanted to raise ... my spoiler
Now that I found the button on the fuse box cover... I just find out that it is squeaking as well...I assume it comes with old age
Anyways I will look for the lube hole now.
What? He seemed so pathetic
"Wow, well this really went off topic.
So back to the point of this thread - does anyone have a diagram of where it needs to be lubricated? "
Geez.....
OHHHHHHHHH
you mean about the water/air thing
Barn, the only good thing about Ed having an an cooled engine is that when we run out of popcorn he can quickly do a batch of "air popped popcorn," which is much healthier that oil popped popcorn.
I never knew there was a hole in the rear like that requiring lube. I'm typically up front driving and having too much fun to pay attention to what's going on in the rear. Makes sense though, if it makes noise while going up and down; must need some lube. The hole looked very tiny, is it hard to get it in? Should you spray it directly into the little hole or just generously spray it into and around the hole?
(wow that all sounds very dirty after reading the "high-jacking" parts of this thread)
yea.... its a 996 part - do you need it? its in my garage
(along with an another entire rear deck lid ***, and 2 other pop up wings...... and some other stuff
)
...... there is enough of the "other stuff" to make two compete 911's but they will be "mutts" made up of mis-matched Carrera, Turbo, GT3 and GT2 parts.
