61 Maroon, You might try some white lithium grease from a tube. I believe it was applied at the factory also. I don’t think the spray can application would leave a sufficient amount. I know mine had copious amounts. Hope this helps.

Drive em safe

The actuating rods in my 57 doors used fabric sleeves to stop the rattling. They're like a hollow shoe lace.

The sleeve should be on the horizontal rod where it intersects the vertical rod.
If the vertical rod (to the lock control) still rattles, try shortening it slightly to remove the slop.
