When does the spoiler go down?

Dumb question but since I can't see the spoiler when driving, I'm wondering when it goes down. I know it generally comes up at speed but if you are city driving and it comes up but you slow down for a while, does it go back down right away?

Just curious what people behind me are seeing...

You wont be able to see it when it riases when your driving... I think it goes up at about 73 or 74 mph and back down in the 40ies

Extends 70-75mph. Retracts below 55mph. Yes, it will rise and fall if you pass those thresholds. If it fails to extend, you'll know it. You won't have to see it, you'll feel it, and not in a good way.

I know it comes up pretty quickly as soon as you hit the speed threshold - just wondering if the down response is as quick.

I always tell people if you want to see your spoiler go up and down sit in the passenger seat with the top down and have someone else drive while you look out the back.
