Small hydraulic fluid leak from aero flap mechanism

[italianjoe]

Thank you! So despite the stoppers being installed they still recommend that the wing be stored in the deployed position. Very interesting. Must still be a small chance that they would fail and allow contact with the body.

I have done may of the rear wing bump stop and there is only less then 5% that may continue to have body contact this is why Ford says to keep storing your ford gt with the wing up.....

Does anyone have pictures with bump stops installed. My 19 is at Galpin right now for the hydraulic leak at the front end and the service manager said there two available fixes for this problem. Tech supposed to call me tomorrow to discuss.

From a 2021... Guessing this might be what you looking for. Other item is the hard plastic post that seems to be part of the aero brake feature.
Car is parked with the wing up. Additional info: the 2021 car cover from Ford during ordering was unavailable/delayed while it was modified to make room for the deployed wing while in place.

They drill holes in body panels...still recommend leaving the wing up though as I understand.

What is leaking?

Aero Flap mechanism in the frontal area is seeping.

Has anyone not had any hydraulic leaks?

So far, so good here

 

[fjpikul]

None here. Almost 6000 miles.

 

[GKW05GT]

So far nothing I know of 4200 miles

 

[roketman]

Yes at 14k

 

[GTMD]

None yet here but I'm only at 210 miles so far

Over 6700 miles I had leaks in front aero and rear aero. The rear is the scary one as the fluid can drip onto the exhaust system, which is a fire risk.
