QUOTE(horizontally-opposed @ Jan 18 2021, 11:13 AM)  I'd like to recommend this thread for the Classics, as it is excellent. One update though: I used white lithium grease on everything first time I did this years ago, and it gummed up to the point a lot of things too much effort to use—I was worried about breaking something. So I just did it again, and research led me to try use sparing amounts of Wurth HHS-2000 / HHS-K Penetrating High Temperature Lubricant. What a difference: Everything works even better than it did last time—it all feels new. Now, if I can just figure out how to clean all the gunk out of my early window regulators… By coincidence, I just purchased the WURTH spray lubricant and sprayed a finger today. It is interesting. Runny liquid at first so I can see how it gets in places. But then there is almost waxy coating. I can see how it would be effective in our doors. I saw it in a YouTube doing maintenance on a Panamera. |

Did the clips break when removing the top piece of the door trim? Mine trim needs some re gluing but I am afraid to remove without buying any clips.

Companies like Wurth have good stuff but nothing proprietary. |

So…I spoke to my mechanic today. I may be redoing my door lock trio—as he noted the HHS is okay but can gum up with time. He also mentioned a horror story, in which customer applied it to the window guides (vertical) and the HHS aged into something that paint thinner wouldn't remove.
Said it's good for hinges, but that he's fallen in love with Corrosion X (available on Amazon). Just ordered a can to see what it's about. |
