For kicks....I tried with w/o the WD40 and it simply would not work. WITH WD40, the assemblies slid in very easily and locked down equally easily. I did not have to use 'hard' force. Firm....yes....hard....no.

Once the assemblies were mostly in....I wiggled the release key back and forth while pushing on the lights until they fully clicked in place and I locked them in with the key.

Good luck.
This is a fantastic idea! I'll give it a try first thing in the morning. Did you simply spray it on the contacts and rails or did you apply it in some other way? Thanks for the advice!
