My driverside rear hinge is sticking again. I "think" I used lithium grease 6 months ago and it's gone. Is there any better ideas for lubing these things? They seemt rust as well.

White lithium but it seems you have had poor luck. Rear door hinges on Tours suck big time.

I tried WD-40 and it lasted like 2 days. Then I tired this silicone sprayI had for my jet ski and it lasted like a week. That lithium grease lasted the longest, but I figured I put a post up to see if anyone found a better solution.

white lithium has always worked for me in the past. Of course you will need to reapply it time after time, but that takes all of 2 minutes.

Marine grease from your local auto store for about $3-$4.
Lasts much longer than lithium grease.

I reaply white litheam every year right before winter starts. No squeaks and it's pretty smooth.

Ditto on the marine grease. It is ment for boat trailer wheel bearings and stands up to water much better. When it rains, there is a lot of water draining through that B pillar area.

WD-40 doesnt last long at all. Its way too thin. I've always lithium spray and had decent results.
