Electric Doors

Hey just purchased a v250d and love it. The sliding doors only open when you physically pull the handle and not from the buttons on the dash, the b pillar or the remote. They will however close if you press any of these buttons.

If the doors are shut and you use the dash buttons, the buttons on the b pillar or the remote you can hear the mechanism try to unlock buy the doors stay shut...

Same on both sides. Kid locks are off.

Any ideas??

Spray some dry PTFE into the latches and that would help to lubricante the parts to release easily. If any other lubricant spray used, would gather dirt again and issues would reappear.
