Electric aerial not fully retracting

The electric aerial on my AU1 won't fully go down. It goe's down the the last stage, so it potrudes out about 6-7inches. Is it fvcked? It started to do it inconsistantly, but now it's been doing it for the last 2 months. Is there any lube or spray you can use that might help?
