Hi everyone..
Newby here!👋
Looks to be a fantastic forum!
GCH14184 (1985 S-SPIRIT) small dilemma, the retractable mascot is jammed in the up position, when leaning back n forth & side to side this only gains a slight loosening of the flat plate around the base and it just won’t retract.. has anyone else had this issue?

Many thanks to all in advance

Are you sure the mascot is retractable on your car? I've put your VIN in to Catalogue and it's not conclusive, if you click on "Body" then "Rolls-Royce Radiator Shell" it shows both retracting and non-retracting versions.
Many thanks Hopeful..
All sorted 😃 yay!! It was absolutely jammed solid with dirt... I like an easy fix 🙏

Just as an aside, grille removal from these cars is much, much easier than one might initially think. And having the grille off makes access to all the mascot related underpinnings very easy indeed.
