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.
