If its the one I think your talking about slide you a flat bladed screw driver down the "track" it goes in and widen it out some. Afterwards you can pinch a few places to tighten it up.
You did try Vaseline didn't you?...or liquid dish detergent ect.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Need to get that track cleaned out. I use a small wire brush, brake clean, and use a curved dental tool used for cleaning teeth. It is called a scaler. Talk sweet to your dental hygienist, she should have some old ones which can't be used any more. Just don't talk too sweet. I made that mistake and she ended up marrying me.
