I had the same problem, it is not water tight. I pulled it back out after I finally got it back in. I sprayed silicon spray on the rope and inside the cover thru the rope hole. It worked like brand new again. I guess dirt and water had gotten in there. There should be a way to water and dust proof it. I now always pull it out a few times after crank up to keep it freed up.

I will try spraying something down there also then and see if that does any thing I didn't want to try that and the dealer say I screwed it up and I was on my own. I'll try that when I get home tonight and let it sit for a while. Thanks for the info. Something else to add to the list and keep a watch on and take care of for normal maintanence.
