The drivers door was having problems shutting. It wouldn't close unless slammed. Tried some wd-40 and then it stopped closeing all together. A few more tries and now it works good as new.. and yes it's cold 11 deg. brrrrrrrr

Default Try to use silicon spray instead of WD40... it's better...
I like to think that WD40 is only a step above penetration oil (no pun intended . Silicon sprays have better lubrication properties.

It's so good that it may cause squeaking if the door moves over bumps.
