Dumb Rear Spoiler Question
Ok, New GT/CT. First Car wash. Used a touchless wash. Upon exiting throught the dryers, I noticed the rear spoiler vibrating like a bow and arrow after the arrow has been released. I've never seen this on other cars that I've had that had rear spoilers. Is this something I should avoid? Could the light weight rear spoiler be damaged by the dryers?
this is my first car with a spoiler

Well, you want them to flex (much like a bridge) or they will break for sure.
My guess is, the blowers are designed for low wind profile car parts like antennas. There is to much surface area on a wing spoiler for the dryers in my opinion.

Tpuring, to answer your question, I line out in the country. I need to wash my car daily. Sorry don't have time to hand wash it that frequently. As to the vibration, My concern is that the spoiler is designed to have air flow over it in a certain direction. Not from directly above.
