Question re: SuperCab rear door top latch
I've tried searching for this and couldn't find anything. A week or two ago I noticed quite a bit of noise coming from the driver's side rear; as I went to close the rear door I noticed the top would oscillate. Sure enough, the top latch (on the rear door itself) wasn't engaging correctly with the frame; slamming did no good.
I sat there and worked the latch a few times, manually 'locking' it and then unlocking it with the handle, and the next time I shut the door, it worked with no issues, and has since.
Are these known to go bad on a semi-regular basis? Anything I can do to prevent or preclude this from happening?

Pretty dang often, honestly; got a kid and I routinely use the back seat for storing/moving stuff.
That was my conclusion as well - lube them and see what happens. Thanks
