Every week or more frequently, I wiped the shaft with a WD40-soaked cloth to remove the grits. Occasionally, I would take a straight-edge and straighten warps caused by mishaps.
Finally, the shaft refused to go down or up reliably (or at all in the final stage of failure. The assembly was replaced under warranty. The explanation was that a small nylon cord on the interior of the shaft was probably broken.
These antennas require the WD40-treatment and you should do this as grit conditions on your drives demand. My sense is that this nylon cord won't take kindly to stresses and strains caused by either a slightly bent antenna or by working against the grits.
