Rear spoiler stuck!

Hi

I've got a Panamera 2011 and have an issue with the rear spoiler.

It comes up by itself and make a loud judder noise like its struggling, keep getting the spoiler error when hit 60MPh.

Button doesn't allow me to raise or lower it, any help would be much appreciated.

Probably have better luck posting this in the Panny forum vs the 997 one. I don't know if the Panamera spoiler is electric like the stock Carrera decklid or hydraulic like the TT decklids. If the latter, it's not uncommon for the hydraulic seals in the rams to leak and once enough fluid has leaked out, the spiker doesn't work properly.

These spoiler mechanisms need maintenance to keep them working smoothly. Yours likely needs to be lubricated at the minimum.
