Sticky drivers door.

Hi guys,

I have used the search function to see if anyone else has given solutions for this but I cant find the answer Im looking for.

I have noticed that for the past 2 weeks the drivers door has become a little sticky. By this I mean when opening the door I have to pull harder than usual. I also noticed when using the key to open the door I will rotate the key clockwise and it will stick at the 2oclock position.

I have put wd40 into the keyhole and on the key. This seems to have helped the key issue.

Now with winter coming up is there anything I can do to free up the handle back to normal operation?

Spay all the parts with silicone spray, including the rubber surrounds and the window seals.. that will also stop the metal and glass from freezing onto the rubbers when it gets really cold..
