Default Lubricating door limiter ... How to do it?

Door limiter on driver side has started to click. Needs lube. Most cars have the notches exposed near the door hinges, but crossfire hides the notches inside the door. Anyone have experience with getting lube on these notches so they stop clicking?

I used a spray lube on mine it came with one of those little red extension straws that get to the hard to reach places got it from autozone I can't remember the name I lent it out and it never came back but check autozone hope that helps.

Thanks mate...I did that very thing with WD40 and the red straw. Unfortunately I apparently never got the oil on the righ parts inside the door. It is impossible to look into that square hole, but I did use a dental type mirror and flashlight and saw some of what's in ther. Unfortunately I need to be looking at the same time I am spraying or I miss the spot that is dry. I have looked at figer optic inspection cameras, but at 200 to 300 dollars a pop that's not gonna happen. I guess it will just click and I'll get used to it. It is the only thing that's ever gone bad in my Crossfire roadster....Thanks again mate....popeye

I recommend white lithum grease in the spray can. Have the window UP and spray away as you PULL the straw out. The splatter will coat the assembly all the way to the door hinge area, and not ookie up the glass. Taaa Daaa W DY

Well, thanks mates. I had a spray can of CRC white grease and that little red straw was still attached. I gave her another go and by golly I got lucky. The click is gone and I am a happy camper. WD40 just ran out the bottom of the door, and I think it did tend to make it worse.... Good lesson and thanks again...Popeye
