Also how difficult is it to replace the wing?
Wing is super easy to remove and replace
Start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal

Don't mess around with motor and mech just buy a complete set (the Price for replacement part is equal to or less than 1 hour door rate at most service centers)
I've attached a link to one here
04-08 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe Rear Trunk Spoiler Wing w/ Motor White Tested OEM | eBay

Installation is super easy ( If you can work a basic set of tools you can do this. But its a good idea to have a torque wrench that capable of 6 Ft/Lbs or 71 Inch/Lbs. You don't NEED the Torque wrench BUT if the job's worth doing, its worth doing right)

Download a copy of the manual (located on this site)
See section 23
start at Page 116
(I've attached a low res copy of the Manual pages required)
You can remove your spoiler from the existing mech and motor
replace that item and reattach your spoiler to the new motor/mech assembly

Replace both mech and assembly and keep your existing for parts

This should take you 2 hours or less. Most likely less.

Just cover the painted areas where your working, You don't want to drop anything onto the paintwork.
You want a smooth transfer with minimal F words, so read up on the process in the manual then execute. It might also be a good idea to get a cheap set of body trim tools they make removal of the lower trim Panel for Hatch and roadster.

Please let us know how it works out for you.
