jiggity76 1,248 2 Vehicles Report post Posted November 10, 2019 The STE has really stiff hinges and door latches right now. What would be good to use to loosen/lubricate them up so everything works smoother? Is WD-40 a no no? I want to use a spray so I can really get into hard to reach areas.

mfewtrail 263 Report post Posted November 10, 2019 Silicone w/ ptfe is the GM recommendation I believe. WD-40, engine oil, etc. will all work fine though. 1 jiggity76 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rich_e777 1,022 Report post Posted November 19, 2019 3n1 oil works great and the bottle has a long nozzle, a couple of drops of 5w, 10w etc motor oil works great too. 1 jiggity76 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 of 996 116 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 Castle Thrust The only thing guaranteed to work. Spray it on, fully work the hinge back & forth several times until free, wipe off access and spray with white grease. 1 jiggity76 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
