OK, after failing to turn up anything in searching, time to turn to the wisdom of the group......
I haven't taken the door panel off, so could someone explain to me what I must do in order to have my rear doors open with the same effort as the front doors?
I have lubed them, before now dry door check straps, and this did not improve matters.
I just purchased this '95 Contour for my wife's Xmas present and am in the process of doing the bumper to bumper thing myself.
Any wisdom shed this way greatly appreciated.

OK guys (and gals), I give up on this!!! I have tried the lithium, silicone, etc and nothing is making a difference!!! "Gritty" is the best description I can come up with as to the "feel" when opening and closing the door. Seems I may have a "mechanical failure" within the door itself (check strap of course, not door ;-)).
Further wisdom prevails before door panel removal?
