Kind of an odd question, but...hood hinges won't close entirely after sitting open for years.

I've sprayed quite a bit of lubricant down that hole/access space, and I've tried to aim it on the coils as well as the hinge points, but it's dang near impossible to know where it's gone, as that access hole isn't very large.

I guess we'll see....
Open the door and look into that area.
