Well, first, get this Wurth penetrating gooey lubricant from your
dealer. between $10-20 and lasts your entire life.
Next, those doors have what are essentially torsion bars for springs,
whcih can bind, and also a 3-detent roller that catches those torsion
bars (as I recall). That needs to spin freely too. I found that the
longer you looked, the more nooks and crannys you found. It may need to
work in. Unfortunately, some sliding bearings may also bee permanently
scuffed, but I dont really know.
