Hello

Just bought a 1998 Boxster as a weekend fun car/project! I've been lurking here for a while...a wealth of information! And such a fun car...I've never driven a car that handles as well as the Boxster!

My Boxster has a number of issues which I plan on taking care of one at a time (ignition coil, O2 sensor, Seatbelt Buckle, Horn, etc. etc.). But one thing I noticed (and not discussed much) is the rear spoiler.

On my car, when raising and retracting, it sounds horrid! Like there's absolutely no lubrication (probably true, considering it's nearly 20 years old). How does one go about servicing the spoiler so it operates smoothly...

Thanks for your input.
