Well, took the lock cylinder out today. Flushed it thoroughly with some throttle body cleaner and you would not believe the gunk that came out. Should have taken a photo. Lot's of black sludge probably brass shavings from the key over 16 years of use. Some small metal shavings from the cylinder rubbing on the housing too. Once cleaned, I lubed it up liberally with PTFE and man what a difference. This thing operates smoother than butter. The only weird thing was the windows wouldn't drop automatically once I reconnected the battery. Had to drop the top and I guess it "relearned" the sequence. Work fine now. It's not a hard job to do just takes some patience and a little finesse working in a small space. Thanks again for the comments.
