    458 spider owners: how far does the movable wind deflector/rear window move up/down? When fully raised, my glass is only about half way up compared to when the roof is closed. Meaning that it looks like it could go several more inches up, but stops. When fully down its only about 2 inches lower than the mid point. Basically what I am saying is that I don't see much total travel and the difference in wind deflection is hard to notice.

    Is this normal?

    Don't have picture to show but can add one tomorrow.

    I don't have a spider yet, I am always curious of the operation of that rear window/deflector.

    From my understanding and observation, it is not infinitely adjustable, there are a few presetted position, can you guy's actual owners elaborate a bit on it with the top up and down?

    When the top is up, can it be fully open?

    Thank you in advance.

    Same with mine, the wind deflector only goes up and down about 2 inches only.
