Welcome to the site!

Sounds like you need to take the rear panel off and inspect the mechanism. You may have a loose cable or lever. Good luck!
 






Does the glass part still work fine?
 






Try pushing in on the handle pretty hard while turning.....I have had to do this on mine for quite some time now.

I think 98+ have the seperate button for the glass, and a pull handle for the gate, not the 2 way turn handle on ours
 






yeah ur right mine has the 2 button combo
the button for the window is realy hard to press
and the other doesnt look period.
i was thinking maybe the actuator or the rod?
