I've tweaked things a little, it looked like the 'pin' was getting stuck in the groove so I've scraped both with the flat of a screwdriver to clean the surfaces up - it seems to be working much better now.

Most of the retrofit covers for other models come from BMW with quite a large dab of white grease on the mechanisms.
