THIS. Wish I'd have known this while I was at the store. Mine slide back and forth like butter! I thought they were jammed / destroyed.

100%!!! I have a 2009 and thought the same thing - totally stuck and possibly will break if over torqued - it will release the OPPOSITE side however even at 60% of the way up. No oil - no breaking - just working.
