Hatch strut Lube or grease ?

Any way to lube the hatch struts on a blazer so that slide closed easier ?

White lithium. It's probably your hatch hinges that are siezing up. The struts have a lot of tolerance between them.

What would you live the hinge with, my top is white . I don’t want the lubricant to stain it

Unless you disassemble the hinge, you have no choice but to spray, wipe and repeat.

For those of us not staying completely stock, does anyone know of an upgrade kit of some kind for dampner shocks?

Sorry. After I asked, I found the posts about that.
