I switched from Super Lube (which is great, I use it everywhere) to Permatex Ultra Engine Assembly Lube aka Red Lube of Love for my higher tooth-count ratchets. That stuff is extremely slick and sticky. Rats glide effortlessly, noticeably better than Super Lube. However, it is more quiet, so if you're the kind who feels or listens for the clicks you may not like it as much.

The hood latches tend to seize up over time, especially if you don't lubricate them occasionally. Had the same problem on my Mk5 Jetta. If it's seized and not a broken cable, you can generally fix it pretty easily.

You need three things: a small screwdriver, a can of lightweight break-free lube like Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster penetrating oil, and a can of spray lithium lube.

Pop the safety latch and prop the hood. Locate the hood latch assembly. Using the precision tube on the spray lube, saturate the inside of the latch and latch plate with the penetrating oil (try to keep overspray from rubber parts). Let sit for 30 seconds or so, and then press on the open side of the latch with the screwdriver until the latch plate releases and locks. Pull the hood release in the cabin to reset. Repeat several times until the latch snaps closed freely when you press on it with the screwdriver. Respray with penetrator if necessary.

Use a shop towel to mop up as much penetrating oil as you can and spray the entire inside of the latch assembly with as much spray lithium as it will hold. Work the mechanism a few more times to get it into the pivot and latch plate as much as possible. Re-saturate with lithium grease and button up.

Every time you change your oil, you should relubricate the hood latch with spray lithium to keep this from happening.

EDIT: Linkies.

Yeah, I'm restoring mine for a high school project and It's surprisingly easy, even without any mechanical knowledge, to repair these bikes. They're very simple and you can buy tons of reproduction parts from this website. Just get some metric wrenches, this, this, and download this. Welcome to the club, don't be an asshole.

EDIT: Can you link the CL ad?

I've actually found stuff like this works better for squeaking hinges. Specifically a squeeking garage door. I sprayed WD on the hinges between the panels, and it wore off after 2 or 3 openings/closings. The silicone spray lasted for months before needing another shot.

For someone who touts using the correct tool all the time, watching that made me want to punch him. Use a piston ring compressor, piston ring tool, and a proper valve spring tool. He should also be giving up on his clean hands and put some oil on various parts of the engine while reassembling.

I wouldn't be spraying WD-40 onto the window itself. I would spray it on the little rubber track that the window follows as it rolls up. I would spray WD-40 into the crevasse.

Maybe I should just use this or a similar product?

Thanks.

Live and learn, right? You should be able to get the glue off using a penetrating oil. Liquid wrench has good reviews, and won't eat the paint off your car.

Hard to beat the price and shipping of Amazon IMO.

High temp urea grease I believe it is called this is the stuff Honda recommends at least, http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Honda-08798-9002-Urea-Grease/dp/B00BFDFYKW

u/BickNlinko · 1 pointr/Fixxit

I also forgot that if you're working on a old bike like that, go and get some Liquid Wrench. Use it on all your rusty nuts and bolts before you start working on something.

u/residue69 · 2 pointsr/vandwellers

ACDelco makes an additive for those differentials that's usually included with the seal and lube kit. It might be all that's needed.

u/indigohippo · 1 pointr/Honda

Hmmm, have you tried spraying some Liquid Wrench or other similar product on it?

Amazon carries it, but any local auto supply store should carry it.

u/adudeguyman · 3 pointsr/MechanicAdvice

Get some penetrating oil and spray the bolts or screws in advance. https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Wrench-L106-Penetrating-Oil/dp/B00200MR8Q or some other brand is fine
