    Yep- for me it's been the lock seizing up with grit and whatnot.

    On three occasions fixed the rear doors with carefully aimed WD40 straw past the hinge while clicking the trigger for a minute or so. One of those doors I would have sworn was history, but it's back in commission.

    Wonder why the rear doors. Rainwater carrying grit past shrunk window seals, or just used less?

    ^^ what he said.
    had a play round with mine on the weekend... the handle wasn't the problem (but i replaced them anyway), the lock was full of soooo much grim and scum!!! (no soap).
    gave it a good cleanout and re-lubed with penetrene and graphite and poped it straight back in.
    Good as new cant fault them now

    quick and easy to do... took me about 30mins
