Spoiler stuck up - I can hear the mechanism not working

It moves up and down a cm doesn’t want to come down.

yes I’ve kept the hold button down

its annoying. Cars been stood for a while….

it wasn’t working properly yesterday neither it came up and then did come down it’s a 2016 model.

obviously got a light on the dash saying spoiler not working contact dealership…

as I said the mechanisms trying to work but appears to be getting stuck… might use some WD40 on it tomorrow and see if it helps??

Any other suggestions ?

Does anyone have any ideas? Or is there a truly manual way to lower the stupid thing? The nearest dealer is three hours away so troubleshooting myself is the first line of defense...

Thanks!

I cleaned under mine the other day and same thing. Just need to hold the button down. Another method if that didn't work for some reason is to start driving. I wonder if it would automatically retract? I may have to try that.
