Tried to lube the arm lever that goes into the door.
Also tried to lube the hinges.
No luck.

What to lube ?

You have to remove the door panel, remove lever assembly from inside the door then you'll see what needs to be lubed as soon as it's out

What lever? The door pull release handle?

The bar that keeps the door open, isn't that what you meant by lever in your post?

Unbolt it from the outside of the door around the seal and pull it out from inside the door. Had to do this to my driver's door. The inside part needs to be lubed.

What are you using for the lubricant?

I use white lithium grease as it lasts a long time

Zero clue
Anyone have a photo or video?

Lol. The door arm lever thing that sticks out of the door between the door hinges, the part that you already lubed from the outside. You have to remove that assembly from inside the door and lube the inside part of it because the grease can't get to where it needs to from the outside. There are 2 bolts holding it in place.

Yeah, it's a PITA for such a simple problem.

Why do you need to remove the part?
Can't you just open the vapor barrier and spray inside?
Are the 2 bolts visible here?

You could just do that. But at that point it's just two bolts holding it on and you can make sure to lube it nice. The bolts are impossible to miss from the outside an inch above and below the arm itself on the door. They go through the door and bolt into the assembly inside. On the front doors, the bolts are under the foam seal, you just pull off the seal to get to them and it pops back on the bolt heads. On the back doors they are out in the open
