sticking doors

Bought a 2010 panel month ago anyone having problems with sticking cargo doors? I did solve the problem by adding springs with bicycle inner tube as boot to body just blow latch on body to help push door open when release button is pushed. Just wondering if another way heard adding 2mm washers to control arm but didn't want to take door apart

When you say rubber stops do you mean the rubber molding that wraps all around?

Every so often, I'll put some ArmorAll on a rag and wipe down the door seal, then the doors stop sticking.

Thanks I'll try that white grease is petroleum base don't want it on rubber. I installed a #52 spring cut to about 1 3/4 looped a center loop attached it with bicycle inner tube piece as boot just below latch on frame works every time except after rain dries around seal hit button twice opens

Make sure you spray the armorall on the rag, armorall will stain your paint.

You could even post a "how-to" with pictures, you may not be the only one!

I can not visualize your fix at all.

As for posting pics. go to the "how-to" section, the tutorial is a sticky. I hate posting links when it's that easy.
