mine got 'sticky' sprayed motorcycle chain grease (its sprayable, sets gloopy nad wash resistant...) into BOTH releases all the pivots on the centre pull and the 'hook' of the metal hook that goes onto the plastic cowl..then worked the hook on the cowl a bit and sprayedsome more on there (sort of on the top of the hook where it interfaces with the cowl)..

now it 'springs' open very easily indeed!

also if its the opposite catch to the pull handle that is giving problems just pull the handle again....
