    Sliding cabin door stiff

    I have a sliding door that allows access into the cuddy cabin of my regal. It is getting to be very hard to slide back and forth. How do you lubricate the rollers? When open, the door is behind the console and there is no access to it even from the inside. Any ideas would be appreciated.
