Auto retract of windshield doesn't always work
Our 2021 RTL electric windshield will usually retract to it's low position when the ignition is turned off (and then return to the previous height when powered up). But sometimes it does not lower automatically?? Anyone else experiencing this?
(not really a big deal, but wondering if something is scrambled in the electronics)

Not shutting off the key while pressing the control by chance?
-
The only time you should need to press the adjustment button is if you want the windscreen to stay up after you turn the key off.

Smells like a dealership warranty issue to me.

Check your battery, mine did it today as I have to pull my spyder out to gain access into my garage. I just turn key on and disengage the P brake. If I do this a couple times a week the battery gets drawn down and today it stopped rising as the P brake was disengaging then resumed. Has to be my battery is a little lower than normal so I plugged it in to the battery tender.

My mate's 2021 RT Limited has recently started doing the same - i.e. the windscreen sometimes lowers on switch-off but sometimes doesn't. The small number of responses to this thread suggests it is not a common problem?

Auto lowering of windscreen doesn't always work
I know someone else posted about a similar problem, but that was over a year ago so I hope I can ask again.
My friend's 2021 RTL electric windshield will usually perform the built-in auto-retract to its lowest position when the ignition is turned off (and then return to the previous height when powered up). But sometimes it does not lower automatically. Is anyone else experiencing this, or know how to fix it?
My wife's same age RTL S2S has not had the problem.

You know, there is a way to disable the autoretract feature. If you hold one of the windshield buttons while turning off the Spyder, that disables the autoretract for one cycle. This enables you to maintain the windshield, either remove it, or simply clean it. Is your friend touching the windshield button while shutting the bike down ?
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Sorry - I should have mentioned that. We are aware of that option but he assures me he is not touching the windshield button when he turns off the bike.
