The only place I've ever used lithium grease is on window regulator tracks & rollers. Is it rubber safe?
Another thing I forgot to mention is while silicone is rubber safe, some silicone sprays actually use a rubber-attacking propellant.
One way to check is to spray it on a styrofoam cup. If it eats away the cup, then don't spray it on any rubber.
the 3in1 brand silicone spray
is safe
CRC brand ...
is not

I wasn't sure what part needed to be sprayed, so I sparayed silicone on several moving parts, thinking "what could it hurt?" Both lights immediately stopped working. I just started laughing. My luck is so bad I could fall in a barrel of ***** and come out sucking my thumb.

Hey Ganey,
on tha pic you posted, are you spraying the lube in the square hole on the end or one of the vacuum hose ports?
I have a light that is sticking from time to time and getting lazy. I haven't started looking at it yet but I need to....sux at a cruise in and one light doesn't open without dicking around with it.

To spray I suggest the center vac. hose port.

After having removed the passenger side actuator, I have decided there is no spray for a seal that fell out in pieces.... The rebuild is under way for both. Slowly but surely I am making this car new again, one piece at a time.
