 Thanks, Rick. I actually added some oil to mine when it was sticking assuming
that would make it slide easier. I'll try cleaning it.

my pass side one does the same, If there is some oil on the valve shaft it
binds and doesn't open, I have to take it apart a couple of times a year and
clean all the oil out of it then it is fine
