Default question about the flap, or wing?

There are a pair of wings or flaps located on the back, seems like they are movable, but don't know what function is it, and what button to turn it on. by the way, i don't find the switch for the fog light, could someone tell please? thanks.

I believe the flaps cover components of the convertable top. I'm not certain.

..
To turn on your fog lights, turn your headlights on, and then gently pull the headlight switch towards you. It will "pop out" a click.

The flaps or wings open and close as the top is raised or lowered. When they don't open the top will not open or close. Upon opening the top, the flaps will open, top folds back, and then the flaps will close. Basically the same when closing the top. Hope this helps too.

The relay switch that engages the flaps is located in the windshield frame on the passenger's side. If you reach your pinky finger in toward the driver's side you will feel a little metal flap. You can flip this little piece up and down. If your flaps don't want to function properly this is a good place to start as road grime tends to accumulate and foul the switch. Flip the switch a couple of times and spray it with electronics parts cleaner and cover it with dilectric grease using a cotton swab.

To work the fog lights you need to pull the headlight switch outward.
