The only way I have figured is to have my wife follow me or set up an external camera on a mount to test if the spoiler is working. :-)

Put an offensive phrase on your spoiler and it will be easy to tell as people pass you. They tend to let you know with one of their fingers.


On a serious note just trust that it works, and know that It will be up once you pass 75 then will go down once you drop beneath 55. (Correct me if I am wrong)

I believe it's 50mph on the down-stroke. Mine goes up at 75mph on the speedo which is actually 73mph. If I rise up in my seat till my head almost touches the roof, I can see the rear spoiler is up.

Wow, I was just kidding trying to do that

I see you speedo is off about the same as mine. I kind of like having a 2-3 MPH buffer
