Now the drivers side does it almost every time we use the door. any ideas?
I have solved the sticking button problem by purchasing one of those pocket lube tubes from an auto parts store with the very thin applicator ( thin as an ball inflator needle) and inserting it behind the botton and lubing it. Also I have cleaned both the bottom of the door and where the door meets the body of the car. I have found that kids or adults spill sticky liquids in that area and cause the door to stick. Hope this helps.
