It’s easy to forget about the trunk hinges on your vehicle. Over time, the hinges become dry and contaminated with debris. This leads to a trunk that’s noisy and difficult to use. If you want your trunk to operate buttery smooth, like it did when it rolled off the assembly line, you’ll need to clean and lubricate it.

Step 1: Clean the hinge. Use a shop rag to clean the hinge of any debris and buildup.
Step 2: Lubricate the hinge. Spray white lithium grease on both sides of the hinges.
