They have already done testing for contaminants involving sand, cold weather, snow, deicing fluid and whatever else they could come up with plus strong winds. Apparently looking at less than 20sec to fold/unfold & lock. Stronger than published winds may slow the process but won't stop it.

It can also be removed quickly and covered under the CDL like a winglet if dinged.
