Child window lock keeps locking itself

The child window lock on my driver's-side rear door keeps locking itself.
Anyone experienced this before?

My 98 done that, a little dab of black RTV silicone took care of it. ( kids are all grown up now) so I don`t use the child locks anymore.

Common problem, easy fix. The quick fix is to use spray lube with a wand, stick it in the opening around the lever and spray. Move the lever up and down several times and you should be good. The better fix is to take the door panel off, access the assembly from the inside, and target spray lube directly to the mechanism. Did this 3 years ago and haven't had one stick since.
