Default Drivers door feels very heavy....
There is definately something wrong with my drivers door, the gears in the door are dry to the touch, tried putting the correct lubricant on them and they didnt get much better, it's so bad that it feels as if there is something caught in the door when you try to close it, but it closes, just needs alot more force to manuver open and closed. Any ideas? I made a service appointment but even the dealer had not heard of this before.

Default The tint on the window will have voided any warranty to the door, you are screwed. (try (inside))
Try some penetrating oil.
What did you use to lubricate it???
