Re: Lubing door hinges
Take off the little body panel in front of the door. Three little bolts I believe (maybe 4). Make sure to note location and save all shims. put little dab of grease where moving hinge part contacts spring (you will see when you open/close door. Done.

Re: Lubing door hinges
The only problem with grease, or any lube, is that in that spot it is going to attract dirt as it is not that well shielded from the elements, sand, grit and hold it there to grind away at the hinge and hinge spring steel parts. No way around it, unless someone comes up with a boot of some sort. Until then, clean it often.
