We have a slider 9A which is difficult to open the first inch or so. Once the slider starts to open, it opens quite easily. I tug on it latch and can open it after 1-2 tugs, but my petite wife who will be flying the plane cannot open it from the outside.
I believe the reason for this difficulty is getting the plastic center rear slide block which connects to the channel to start sliding up the channel.
I have applied some silicone spray to the channel / block which seems to have helped some.
So, have others had this same difficulty and what has been done to help?
