[s-cars] another dumb newbie S-car question...1995.5 door

[Harold McComas]

About a year ago, I thought when was the last time I tried the door key. 
Tried it and could not turn it all the way, any more force and I thought I 
would bend/break something. Shot some WD-40 in there and worked the lock, 
slowly it loosened. Speaking of which, I haven't tried the lock in awhile, 
better check it again.

Matt, curious what anybody says about your problem. I have never been able 
to stick my key in the passenger door lock, goes only about 1/4 way in.
