Squeaky Headlight
I have a 2001 Coupe with a squeaky driver's side headlight (when it retracks down). I can't seem to locate the exact point to lub...does anyone know the location of the hinge points or any areas that need some lubrication? Also, what do you recommend...lithium, silicone, WD40, or something else? Thanks for any help with this.

If you take off the black trim surround and top cover you will see two shoulder bolts at the top of the headlight assembly that have nylon bushings in them, these are the pivot points. There is also an arm that attaches to the up/down motor that can be greased. I used Mobil 1 grease. If you remove the covers make sure to grease the headlight adjuster bolt threads too.
