Hello,
My 2000 Odyssey has developed very hard to open side (sliding) doors.
Both sides are affected but the door we use most is much worse.  I
have cleaned and lubed all visible moving parts/springs.

The latch seems to work, but it takes a very hard yank to open.  We
discovered that if some one inside the van pushes/bangs out on the
rear of the door it will open better.  It seems as if whatever makes
the back pop out when you first turn the handle is not working
properly.

The dealer 'adjusted' it a few months ago and it helped a bit, but it
is back worse than ever.

Any ideas?

Thanks
