Still in Vietnam but now rear baffles do not open fully

Further to my posts about mirror lock-up, etc, I can now advise that I have managed to loosen the shutter by releasing but not fully taking out the shell (as per the post in this forum "The naked Hasselblad" but now rear baffles do not open fully and the shutter only fires if I (gently) push the top baffle up to its open position.

The same problem occurs if I use the mirror pre-release.

The body probably needs a good clean but I would like to take some photos before we leave Vietnam in a few days. Any temporary suggestions would be welcome.

PS In case I get bored and try to take the shell out entirely, how do I deal with the mirror pre-release button? Do I push it right up into the body before pulling the shell out?
