When I did mine, I took everything apart in the latch and lock mechanisms, cleaned the old, dry grease by soaking the parts in a bucket of mineral spirits and toothbrush action, and put new grease in. I think I used some little wooden sticks to jam new grease into some of the nooks and crannies. I used white lithium grease throughout. When I was done, the doors worked *so* nicely. -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
