What is lubricating the trunk all about?

The trunk is a storage compartment usually located at the rear of the vehicle. This area is accessible via either a lid or a door. The hinges allowing the door to open and close smoothly need to remain lubricated in order to operate properly.

Keep in mind:

  • Trunk doors can be quite heavy, causing more wear and tear on the hinge attaching it to the vehicle.
  • Heavy trunk doors and lids can be extremely difficult to open if the hinges seize or jam.
  • Broken or bent hinges will not return to operating condition through lubrication alone, additional repairs are required.

How it's done:

  • Apply grease to the hinges and the latch.

Our recommendation:

At the first sign of noise or difficulty with opening or closing, lubricant should be applied to the hinges of a trunk door or lid. Before the application, the hinge or hinges should be inspected for damage or mechanical problems. While this is being done, we recommend that other hinges around the exterior of the vehicle be inspected and lubricated as well. If the lubricant on the hinges connecting the truck door or lid to the vehicle has depleted to the point of needing replacement, it is likely that other lubricated parts need servicing as well.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the trunk?

  • Opening or closing the trunk door or lid is more difficult than it once was.
  • A loud squeaking noise is heard when the trunk door or lid is opened or closed.
  • The trunk may not latch properly when closed.

How important is this service?

This service is moderately important, as trunk lids have a tendency to latch improperly or require multiple attempts at closing to stay shut. Not only is this very inconvenient, but the trunk could open while the vehicle is in motion. Regular lubrication will ensure smooth operation and prevent expensive repairs from being necessary in the future.

BMW 745Li V8-4.4L - Car starts and then dies - Smyrna, Georgia
If I could give Michael 10 stars I would. Michael started off by contacting me the morning of my appointment to get a full understanding of what was going on. This made me feel as he wanted to be prepared for the job. My BMW was not starting and as soon as he got there he started it and already had an idea of what was going on, but he didn’t stop there he inspected my car and gave me a full report and more advice than the BMW shop I took it to months ago. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He did not rush or try to push unnecessary sevices on me. He explained what I needed, why I needed it and when I should get it done by. This is the kind of mechanic you want working on your car and I have a BMW 745Li and we all know the issues these cars can have. He will definitely be getting my business.
