i use moly lube...same thing u put on ur piston rings but it's in a powder form. it's awesome...and it's dry

if you can't or dont want to pay 15 bux for moly lube get graphite for about a buck in any hardware section or store or evey parts place.

OK. Someone without the power package, pull the rear hatch cover and see if there is a two pin connector sitting there with a pink and grey wire.

WD40 drys out and becomes gummy. When that happens, try LPS 1 to dissolve the WD40, then go to a dry lubricant.

don't have that problem. but you can fix it buy sharpening a pencil and using the powder left. get some on the key and it works like a miracle.

that was my first thought, a switch in the console and a single actuator, but then if i'm out somewhere I have to open the car to put packages in the hatch. Full set of locks might be a better idea...

They make a graphite lock lubricant you can get at any hardware store in the US
