Clean door latches- HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Just replaced my door latches with ones that I had pulled from the junk yard and cleaned and relubed. What a difference! I soaked them in WD40 for a day or two, scrubbed them clean with an old toothbrush, rinced them clea and relubed the hinge points with white lithium. The doors lock, open and sound like new! Wish I had done it years ago...

I cleaned my window tracks with brake cleaner (probably not the recommended way), it seemed to free them up quite nicely.
