Rear Wing/Spoiler - replacing folding black plastic panel

Hi TRW40
If its the spoiler curtain that you mean, mine is also split at the ends. This was pointed out to me at my last service. I had a quote of £85 to replace the curtain. For the time being, as its not too serious, I have applied a length of black duck tape which looks OK, and stops it splitting further.

Thanks Mike
It is the black curtain and mine has just started to split too. I have priced it up at £59 ish plus Vat plus p&p. I will follow your lead and apply duck tape until I am ready to fix it. I found a DIY article on rennlist dealing with this so I shall probably tackle the replacement myself when the time comes.

The article on Rennlist makes changing the curtain way more complicated than it is. I recall they suggested removing the spoiler to do it. I can't remember the exact details as I did mine about 2 years ago (and I'm sure the parts price, with club discount, was closer to £25 from Porsche Centre Reading), however, it was reletively intuitive. The spoiler needs to be raised manually, but not quite all the way up, and then I seem to recall it was just a case of peeling off one of the sides - I think the other side slides off. Repeat the process in reverse to replace the new one.

Thanks for your thoughts Stewart. Apart from the price, they are reassuring.
I have spent £68 inc p&p. I shall remember to ask for club discount next time! I shall probably have a go at replacing the curtain next weekend. Can you tell me how you raise the spoiler manually please?
Many thanks.

It's a picture I took before the Targa disappeared down the road with its new owner yesterday. I like the picture and fancied a change of avatar. Very sad moment as it went. I really liked that car and it was ultra reliable as well. Had to sell either the Coupe or Targa to fund the yellow racer and I was offered a good fair price for it. I know it is going to a good home too.
Ian.
