I usually keep mine in the up position. When I'm driving around town it will go up and down at least once every 5 minutes. I drive and I just pass the speed for it to come up, I come to a light, back down. Drive off, up it goes, hit a light, back down. I'm afraid that during the summer with the heat here in Miami, it will cause more wear to the motor, which is not something I want to deal with after the warranty expires. Also, I see at least one other crossfire every day here, so I think people are used to the wing thing.
