I have used a lubricant called Tri-Flow that has performed
excellently.  It penetrates like WD-40, but leaves a teflon film when
dry.  You might check your local bicycle shop or sporting goods store.
I used it to free up a vent cable in my old Suburban and it's still
working fine after several years.
