The door dovetail has a piece of felt inside it's case with two small holes on the surface, why? Drop of oil to help it slide? Thanks dale
 
I used wd-40 when installing it, It will dry up, Then use a small amount of grease when shuting the door if not it wants to hang on the rubber
 
When I worked at the GM dealership we used a GM stick lubricant on door latches and guides. This wouldn't get on clothing and stain them.

I to have seen this feature in some original dovetails. I think you are correct in your thoughts as to why the flet is there in the first place with the addition of oil for better sliding ability.
