I've owned my 914 for 43 years. When I open the frunk, the handle stays in the "pulled out" position, I have to push it back in by hand. Is this how they all work? No spring to pull the handle back in? My engine compartment lid has a spring that pulls the handle back.

It's supposed to snap back in. Like others have said, it needs cleaning and a good lube.
