Rear door lock sticking

Anyone else ever have this problem? My rear door lock won't unlock sometimes when I use the keyless or the drivers power button. I can hear it fire but it seems to stick, I then have to move it by hand. Seems to be worse in really cold or hot weather. I am going to take the trim off the door and see what i can see but I can never seem to do that on any car without breaking the clip thingy majiggers, so I wanted to be prepared. Thanks

OK, so I didn't actually ask a question, but I hope "why" and "how do I fix" are implied.

Yeah that happens to me once in a while too, but what can you do, I just live with it.

yeah my left rear passenger door lock gets stuck often also...
but only happens below freezing weather. Usually i unlock my door
and just use my hand to unlock the read door. it's odd.. i have no idea why it would get stuck...

Well what about greasing up the lock? Does it move smoothly under normal temps?

Yeah, it works fine in normal temps, I've grease the external parts of the door locks, I think the problem lies internally. Oh well, I guess I'll be the guinea pig and open up/take a look.

I've experience this problem with my previous Maxima. I would be really interested in knowing what you find out.
