After certain nights when it rains (or after a car wash) and then the temp goes below 32 degrees, the rear doors will not latch back up after opening them. If the car warms up, the doors will latch back up - 20-30 minutes later. So I can't drive the car down the road with the door unlatched.
Looks like dirt, moisture and others have combined to clog the linkage mechanisms of your lock/latch.
You would need a can of lubricant such as WD-40. Spray the lubricant on the lock/latch, and try to close the door. Repeat as necessary and watch what happens.
Once the latch begins to operate, dab some clean engine oil to the latch again, this wiould ensure long-life trouble-free operation.
