Dave,

Thanks for the great tip.  I like saving money.  I would suggest that you use 
something other than WD40.  While it is good at water displacement it leaves 
a film that attracts dust and will result over time in a real gummy mess when 
used in a latch mechanism.  The previous owner of my Jeep thought WD40 was 
the best thing for locks and applied regularly.  The passanger side cleaned 
up on the first application of carb cleaner but I have attacked the driver 
side with complete disassembly and carb cleaner before it was cleaned up and 
functioning again.  I have found that G-96 does a better job of lube and does 
not attract dust.  There are many other good dry lubes also that would work.  
My 0.02 worth.
