   If people are looking for a spray lubricant, I reccommend going to a good 
hardware store (probably not The Despot, for example) and looking for spray 
chain-drive lubricant. It's designed for commercial rolling door drives, and 
the like. It's basically a spray grease, so it's nice and thick and clingy, 
and is designed to leave a persistant film of grease. I've had really good 
luck using it on the internal door-latch parts on my car, just spraying it 
through the little lubrication holes in the door. The rear doors haven't 
been used much over the years, and the latches were really stiff. It worked 
great on the hinges, too.
   To get the regulators, you'd probably have to take off the door panel.
