I have a 2014 Cabrio...it’s new to me. When is the front wind deflector above the windshield supposed to pop up? Mine has only popped up once...and it was squeaky. Is there a certain speed limit that it should come up? Is it automatic, or do I need to somehow activate it, to make it work?

I think by 2014 there is an automatic deployment, my 2011 is either up or down with the button.

2014 is meant to retract above certain speeds. I think it is 40 or 60 Kph.

The motors sound like a High pitched squeal.

You do have to press the button to activate it. Once activated, it varies with the speed.

I did hear that there was a “Fix” for it to not move with the speed. I think it was because he constant movement caused the motors to fail.

my 13 did not vary. Once up it stayed up unless I pressed the button to close it or I shut the roof.
