G1 Optimus Prime Roller Launcher Fix?

[blackoptimus]

Hey guys I recently got a vintage 80's G1 Optimus prime and the trailer doesn't seem to fire roller. The black slider doesn't really move foward. These pictures show the interiors. Looks like the grey molded plastic is blocking the black hitch from moving. Is there a way to make it slider or are they meant to be locked in place?

Those pictures are not very helpful, they barely let me see the part affected.

Can you take a wider shot and give a description of what happens when you push the trigger?

I might film a hd video to show you. When I do that can you open yours up and compare the differences please?

I made this video to show of the insides of the trailer, also near the end of the video I point out the grey piece that kinda prevents it from moving.

Did you remove all the screws or is everything loose like that?

That grey piece is supposed to be there. So far I don't see anything broken, just mis-assembled.

I undid the screws to show you what it looks like. How is it mis-assembled? Could you please provide a picture or something of how it's supposed to be assembled?
