How To Lubricate Rear Door Motor

[Paul202]

Hi,

Today I heard the rear door motor (Lexus RX400h) making a squeeking kind of sound.

Like it needed lubricating.

Does somebody know how to reach this motor?

Regards, Paul.

PS: I've checked this Hybrid forum on key words like "rear door" and "rear door motor".

Haven't found anything though .....

Be careful. Some rubbers can be attacked by certain types of oils and hydrocarbons. I'd use silicone or lithium grease before I used WD-40 on elastomers of unknown composition.
