Question: I just cleaned up the grime from the door latches. They were
really gummed up. Now they look like new. If I grease them won't they
attract enough dirt to get gummed up again? Or should I just give them
some WD40? I'm putting on new exterior handles. Should they get lubed also?
Suggestion 1: Even having NOS FORD steel parts, the holes didn't
always line up. My car is black. So I put a small dab of white
paint on the part I needed to file or drill away, went at it with
a file or drill and once the white was gone the holes lined up.
Suggestion 2: I went nuts trying to get the backup light gaskets
on properly up while installing them. I tried all the tricks I found
online. So .... I Super Glued the darn things to the housings
and used nail polish remover to clean up any mess and they
went on like magic.
