LMTV door hinge lubrication

[Keith Knight]

Does anyone have a success story how they lubricated the front door hinges without removing them? The drivers door is normal but my wife’s side is pretty stiff.
The problem is not lack of use either. As we are traveling for nearly 4 months this year. She gets in and out more than I typically with help backing up and such.

I put red tacky grease in the slide bar tract under the door itself and changed the whole feel of the door ! You will be surprised !

The lower track can make a big difference, but for the hinges, a penetrating oil worked quite well. My doors were extremely stiff wife and kids couldn't move them, greasing the track and oiling the hinges now they swing easily.

Thank you.

MAC 1370 chain and cable lube spray from NAPA or elsewhere. It has a low viscosity penetrant, then leaves behind a film of heavy lube. I use it on the hinges and on the door limiter track underneath.
