Dear Volks,
Are there any experts about concerning cranky slider latches?  Mine
wants a particular touch when closing, or it will rebound and only
catch on the secondary latch.  TriFlow and similar things
sprayed/squirted/dripped into the latch area give a certain amount of
temporary relief; engine oil seems to be one of the better ones.


Yours,
David
