Ever had a constant corrosion problem?

Something is going on inside my 87's driver side door, that doesn't seem to happen in the passenger side. Nearly all of the electrical connections tend to develop that green copper corrosion. It keeps killing my door lock and power window functionality. They'll stop working, and I'll open it up to find that the corrosion was the problem. This does not take long. It's about every 4 months.

Never happens on the passenger side. The connections look clean.

I checked the bottom of the driver's door, and those two large drain slots are clear. Nothing is blocking them. So there's no water getting trapped inside the door.

I would just slather everything in dielectric grease, but on the bottle it says only to put it around the connection, not directly onto the spot where the metal will meet. As that could inhibit the electricity since it's an insulator. Although I'm not sure if anyone actually goes by that advice.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Do I need to line the inside of my door with desiccant or something?

Thanks!
