So the Air Dam on my truck doesn't stay up on the driverside (as in picture). I tried pushing it up by hand but it falls down again. The passenger side seems very sturdy but the driver side seems to have something broken that keeps the air dam held up. Does anyone have familiarity with this issue and how to fix it?

might be a servo that just “lost it” and is dead.

this is not the only air dam issue here
there are several with issues with component ( not me—yet)

If a servo motor is gone bad, shouldn't it still keep the air dam held up?
If it doesn't then it is an issue that Ford design team missed to capture.

On the bright side, we now have concrete evidence of the amount of road clearance that is available when the air dam is deployed...

But yeah, I'd take it back and have them replace the d/s servo which has, in all likelihood, crapped out.
