Anyone else had a similar issue?
My spoiler was working faultlessly since I bought the car - both the auto and the manual lift.
I was going for a drive on Friday - went up towards 170km/h and obviously, my spoiler went to top position automatically. Then as I was parking I saw it still in the TOP position. I thought - weird since I did not put it up manually but brushed it off. Then yesterday I went for a drive and tried to manually lower the spoiler and it won't drop. You can hear the motor engaging for a split second but the spoiler remains up.
Tried pressing the button so it loses the light (meaning it's on auto) and going for a drive - no luck. Tried WD40 on the outer mechanism - nothing. Left it overnight so that WD40 can get deeper - no luck. Still, the motor engages for a split second but the spoiler does not move.
Tried removing the battery waiting 10minutes and reconnecting the battery - no luck (it was a long shot, but had to try it).
Button reacts, light lights up, motor reacts but the spoiler won't budge. Does not matter if the car is moving or stationary, turned on or off.
Any suggestions before I take off the boot lid carpeting and examine the motor?
Also, what can be used to remove the plastic clips holding up the carpeting? They are "convex" with no gap to put a screwdriver in.
