Its likely it just durty as hell and all crudded up. I've had the same probelm. Easy fix unless the cable on the driver's side is broken.
1 get access to an air compressor. 2. cover seats and interior with paper/plastic you are about to blow all that crud inside. 3. Blow out as much dirt & debris you can with the compressor. 4. Using rags and then Q tips clean every knook and cranny you can get at. moisten the rags/Q tips with brake cleaner or even WD-40. 5. clean everything dry with rags/Q tips. 5. Lube with a lithium greese. do not use WD - 40 it will attract dust dirt many times faster than with lithium.
You may have to actually tap/push the top to get it to open as you begin the cleaning pricess.
