Default Passenger Door Doesn't Always Open

My passenger door doesn't always open it unlocks but sometimes have to pull the handle a few times before the door will actually open

Anyone else had this problem?

It's common on rear doors that aren't used that much. Get the door card off and coat rear of the handle, and the lock mechanism in silicone grease or similar. If you don't it will seize, and you'll have a 'mare getting into the car.

Very, very common problem Brian, with an easy fix.

There are guides on other website forums but i'm not sure if we are allowed to link to other sites so i wont, just google it.
