Diawa Ballistic MQ LT sticking

I have had this reel for 1/2 a year and fished with it at least once a week (saltwater). It’s never been submerged, it has taken some waves on windy days in the kayak. Washed with fresh water after every trip. I know they are a mag sealed and supposed to last for a while. It was getting stuck as the spool reached the highest point. I have opened it as far as I feel comfortable. This is what it looks like. I have taken reels apart before and never seen them quite like this let me know what you think. Thank you
