Answer
Hello Karl,
The latch and lock mechanism could also be dirty and sticking.
I have taken cans of Liquid Wrench,(I personally like it much better than WD-40), stuck the little red tube on the nozzle, and by going in through the latch itself, holes near it, and even down through the window opening, and hose the latch assembly. Work the lock button a bunch, and hose it some more.
I have numerous times had that proceedure fix the problem, and it would work fine for months.
