What kind of lube or how would you make the spoiler not so noisy when it lowers? A 2003 Turbo S
Thanks.

I used a bit of lithium grease on the little "rails". (Where the spoiler meets the body) It got a bit quieter, but to those who aren't used to it, they tend to get little worried.

The spoiler 'noise' is one of the things that makes it cool to own an 'S'...

Is there some sort of noise with the Turbo S' spoiler that is not present on the 1.8T non-S?

Lube it silicone spray and it should quiet down a bit.
