Rear door latch buttons.
2000 XJ Sport. Oops! Wrong section!
Is there any way to keep the rear door latch buttons on the outside handles from sticking? I've had no problems with the front doors, but both rear doors keep sticking even after spraying the crap out of them. They will generally pop back out if I whack the top on the handle sharply, but not always. I use the rear doors as often as the front ones for loading and unloading newspapers and other stuff, so it's not like they don't get used. I'm afraid to try to loosen the mounting bolts because I'm afraid they will break off. The latches seem to work fine. Any ideas?
