Suggestion
I'd try to check & clean the inside of the spoiler first tho, make sure there's nothing like dirt/oil/dead rats caught in between.

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.

Hey guys has anyone has this problem before. I only noticed it this morning when i got into the car that the spoiler hasn't gone back down into the boot?? Is this a major problem or is there anyway i can reset this??
There's a button to manually retract it near the clutch pedal to the left side. Press and hold the bottom of the button.
EDIT: Wait, since you're in South Wales, it should be on the right side of the gas pedal...

There's a button because. It's always good to have manual override.
I think it's there so you can put it up for cleaning. Or show it off to your friends.
I've seen people who put it up while driving on city streets. Gives me a cheap laugh!
I use my button to put the spoiler up for cleaning. It also came in handy when I applied my "Mach Schnell" decal on the spoiler. As for being stuck up, I think we all get an attitude from time to time, but I can't say as my spoiler has ever been stuck up.
My 2002 boxster went into the shop with the spoiler down. It was in the shop for two months. Came home with spoiler up and some damage. Owner agreed to fix front bumper gratis. When I took it in for body work I asked that spoiler be put down. They charged me $125 bc they had to “pull the engine “? Why not use the button????? Was I taken?
I don't think that they pulled the
Engine
for $125. Could it be that the had to pull the '
Spoiler Motor
'? That would make sense if the spoiler motor jammed it in the up position.
