Why my spoiler drops when I reach around 60 - 70 mph?
When I raise my spoiler manually and i reach around 60 or 70 mph , the button light turns off. I assume that the spoiler automatically drops, because I can not see it when I am driving and when i stop the car its not raised.Do you have the same problem? And do you now how can I actually set the spoiler to be raised all the time when I drive?

If you raise your spoiler manually, as you stated you can see the light activated, when the light is no longer active it means that its back in auto mode and that happens when you reach 84+ MPH; not sure why yours is activating around 70 though. With that being said, since it went back into auto mode, when your car came to around 40/35MPH it lowers automatically which is why when you came to a stop (or parked) it is no longer raised.
I have not seen anyone actually be able to change when the spoiler raises (using settings, tunes, VCDS, etc) or disable the auto function of raising/lowering.

Nope, but I don't know why you want it raised all the time. Stop Driving With Your Spoiler Permanently Up

You have the press the spoiler button and hold it for 2-3 seconds and you will see it lift and the light comes on for that particular spoiler button. Its on the dash on the right side near the traction control OFF button. To manually close that spoiler in the city before parking or going into car wash, you have to press that spoiler button 2-3 seconds and wait for it to retract otherwise it will go back up.
