HELP PLEASE!

Now I didn't get this right ..... Recently took over a 2004 Roadster with Easy Up and was impressed etc after the traditional hood I had on a 4/4

problem -> very happy with the access to luggage area facility with the handle inside the drivers side ( did this ok and was impressed ) and remembered to undo the poppers at the side every time but simply operated the hood with the clips at the front WITHOUT releasing the handle to slacken off the back part of the hood ---> all gets sealed up ok and apparently works fine BUT the luggage access handle facility --that is the handle to slacken off the back part of the hood has no response now AARGH


what have I done. , presumably overstrained the handle rear release mechanism and what do I have to do to fix it ?

Currently hood can be operated without the back release but am I continuing to do damage ?

Watched Allon White Youtube on the Easy Up - after the above mess up and realised I done wrong

All advice appreciated

PS really lovely to be out today in the Lake District where we live Thanks Tim
