Agree it's lack of lube and lack of use of the rear doors. Not sure what a chain saw grease gun looks like. From studying the strap, looks like Lithium grease spray can with a bent straw can be inserted into strap arm opening in door to squirt grease into the 2nd detents (with door in 1st detent position). Make sure the window is up or risk Lithium grease all over the glass.
