There is a Dupont spray lube with teflon that is recommended by members. Check out under 4wd repair questions title....


I use white lithium grease.

the dupont silicone/Teflon spray lube is for the plastic and rubber parts of the door and window mechnaisum. for the metal parts of the door, including the hinges I also like the lithium grease, there are also some graphite dry lub that is also good. Regular oil lube works too but attracts dust and dirt that will hasten the wearing out of the hinge pins.
