I did the same thing to mine and much better.

Put car polish on the top 2 inches of the top outside door panel. It’s getting stuck. East peasy

I bought a can (from ACE as I like to support the smaller shops - $8.99) and applied liberally to any part of the mechanism that looked in need of a good lube.

Much quieter now - most of the remaining noise is coming from the door panels.
