I have a 1996 RAV4, four door AWD. The door locks are having a lot of problems and the driver's side window is hard to roll up. I am about to open up the door panel to see if I can make the window roll up easier and to see if I can make the door unlock from the inside. (If I lock the door from the inside I have to roll the window down and unlock it from the outside with the key.) Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
I am assuming it will take only a bit of lubrication for the window and some adjustment of a clip for the door lock.
Thanks in advance, RAV4 owners!

I have a 96 4 door also. My front manual locks are kinda "sticky". Sometimes I have to lock them with the key from the outside and the driver door won't always lock from the inside when I'm in the vehicle. Strangely enough, the warmer it is outside the more stubborn they become. I subscribed to your thread and hope to find the fix from your replies. Thanks for posting
