Panel rear doors
Pretty new to the forum but haven't found anything on this. Been looking last few times. Having a problem on my Panel's rear side doors. Whether I use the dash buttons or the key fob for opening them sometimes it takes two or three tries to get them to pop completely open. Wondering if others have had this problem and if its just a latch adjustment or electrical.

This is common apparently. Mine would do the same thing. I could hear the actuator but no open door for a few pushes of the button. I found that if I keep the seals lubricated with dielectric grease it is no longer a problem. The seals get sticky here in Texas from the heat and the grease prevents this from happening. The dielectric grease also keeps the seals from drying out.

It was one of the things I was told I could use on them. I had it, so I used it. It works well.
