Does the motor make any noise? Try opening it manually with an allen key through the hole in the roof.

yes... look on the ceiling behind the opening, theres a little cap... remove the cap and you'll find the manual interface for the thing.





push up at the back while holding the button down, the way it comes up is the back pops up first then it slides back, so it might just need assistance with getting past the static friction from sitting so long getting heat cycled and fused together.... it might get stuck but you can deal with that when it happens.

You have to push the motor button and force it (easily) the way you want it to go. Lube up the tracks and keep moving it back and forth. I'm sure there's alot of **** caked up in there. There was in mine.
