Default trunk release button stuck again

is it hard to fix this myself or should i take it in?
some people said that it is just dirt that collects inside and it just needs to be cleaned out is this true (and easy to do?)
thanks

This is a simple fix. The part was under $30. Check out this link.

I was able to take mine apart and clean it. It was a very simple fix and has worked fine since cleaning it. Much easier than dealing with taking it in to the dealer.
