I'm not sure if its frowned upon.. but I posted in general as well..

I have a squeak around the time my clam shell is opening or closing. I think something just needs to be greased, but I couldnt see anything at the time.. and I'm at work so I have time to

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

I have always found Hot Cinnamon **** Lube gives my Fiance's clam all the lubrication she needs

 

Never mind wrong kind of clam

 

Mine also and the damn memory seat when it moves I can hear it from 35 feet away sounds like leather on leather binding

 

Some posters say not to put grease near the working parts of the hood but if it was happening to mine I would stop the hood just as I heard the first squeak. Then hopefully I should be able to see or hear the culprit moving part. If it was metal rubbing against metal, I would give it a short blast of WD40. Then wipe off the residue. I cant imagine WD40 would harm anything provided I didn't blast it freely all over the place or into places that it was not needed.

 

I'm sure there would be some form of guide/glide that the shell is running on... Porsche wouldnt put metal on metal for a moving part like that.

I'm surprised that there is so few of us who have had an issue... Maybe its something that is normally greased/cleaned during a maintenance stop at the p-dealership?
