    Lube Door Hinges, Striker; Trunk & Hood Hinges, Latches ??

    I wanted to do all the above and found or recall some info on the door hinges, but can't figure out how to get any spray grease up into the hinges for the front trunk.

    WD-40 makes a long magic wand to spray their light oil up into hard to reach places, but I'm not sure I want a light oil in there.

    Seems crazy to tear the blower system apart just to get a can of Wurth HHS to reach...

    Any ideas?

    Thx

    the 2 hinges up under the cowl for the front trunk lid

    the hoses and vent 'spreaders' for the pass. side blower system make it hard to fit the spray can in there

    there driver's side is worse as there is all sorts of emissions & fuel inlet stuff in the way of the can

    the HHS can has a wand on it that's maybe 6" long or so

    how do you do it?

    and then there are the rear lid hinges, nearly as hard to get to esp. with the sound pad partly covering them

    Just go to Ace Hdw. and buy a length of small diameter tygon tubing, stick the spray nozzle in the tubing and direct where you want it.
