WD-40 is a cleaner, not intended to lube anything for long. The fish oil dries up. Use white lithium grease for your car and leave the WD-40 on the shelf.

Remove the rear panel, carefully because of the plastic clips in the bottom part. Then spray some white grease on the moving parts, and gently pull up on the lock pin until you can lock/unlock freely.

You also want to use the grease on the latch portion at the bottom of the assembly.

Don't forget to also grease the door stays on the 4 doors, the hood hinges, etc.
