[QUOTE="AngerManagement, post: 519290, member: 3760"] Sounds like you have dirt/dust on the two pressure pads that slide along the rod. They flex upwards and into the base of the handle and the module also rotates a bit. The movements are all very slight but works well when clean. I have pulled mine apart after lots of beach work, but that is not for every one. If your close to the ML Dealer - take it in. But if you some distance/time away; then ..... I would get a bit of water under a bit of pressure ( NOT FIRE HOSE STRENGTH), maybe just a spray bottle and get the water in and up and around the base of the handle. I use a bit of a dry lube BUT you do not need much and DO not use wet type lube as the dirt and crap will/can/may stick to it and make it worse in the long run. It is then just a firm slap/thump and all works well. Sand is a PITA for me as it gets into ever surface and becomes crunchy if not washed out. [/QUOTE]
