aero dam in deep snow

[tbta02]

not sure its called an aero dam but drops down to improve fuel mileAge. question is if exiting the driveway when the snow is bumper deep will this be damaged ?

It doesn’t deploy until you reach x mpg. Not sure what x is but unless your driveway is a 1/2 mile long, I doubt you get there.

Thought the x was 35 MPH according to one of our fell MOPAR maniacs. Only concern I would have is if the snow if built up under the bumper and you take off, may cause problems.

Or going through a snow drift that crosses the road......

Another issue may rear it's ugly head, not that I partake in off roading, but those who do and either get stuck or hit obstacles (stock height), the aero dam may fall off. Wonder if there is a way to have a "quick" disconnect on that part?

It's built by a company called Magna and deploys at 35 mph. Here'a a thought for the OP...shovel the driveway before you drive down it...perhaps?
