The last two days I have noticed that the rear spoiler on my 2018 GTC convertible did not fully retract after driving the car on the highway. I never manually put the spoiler up with the button.
I also experienced, that if I tried to put the spoiler down with the button on the dash, the red indicator on the button was flashing as if something is wrong. After fiddling with the spoiler and turning the car on and off, I was finally able to retract the spoiler with the button.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known problem?
On the blinking red light, this is normal. Here is the description in the op manual:
Regarding the partial closing, this trouble chart might aid you. See if any of these conditions exist. Again, from the manual:
Regarding the tailgate, if it is in fact physically closed the switch might have failed and is sending a signal it is open, but that should illuminate a dash warning.

Yes I had the spoiler start sticking. It was a very simple fix. Using a torx bit you simply loosen the bolts for the spoiler and re position it so it no longer sticks. Kind of like positioning a door to fit perfectly.
