After opening and closing multiple times (now that it is warming up outside), it is getting a little easier, but it is still not right. In fact, when I pop it up, the first time it has a hard time and it finally opens. It is as if the cover is not sliding all the way forward when I close it after I slide it open. Is it hard to take out? I see lots of posts on it and I have the FSM for directions. I imagine that to clean and lub it probably needs to come all the way out, right?
