start with the drivers door, take the door card off and set about the mechanisms one by one with WD40.

If the prob is still there after u WD'd all the doors, try doin the same wi the bootlock

Had the same problem on my old sapphire.

Changed all the motors in the end to save the hassle, all fine after that
