Deploying boards creaking.

Anyway I can tighten or grease/wd40 to get them to stop creaking after being used ?
Thanks

I've had mine 3 1/2 years now, every now and then I spray some silicone on them. There has never been a creak out of them.

Spray all the pins really good, there are some bushings in there that dry up then they eventually seize and burn out motors. Take care of them early and often!

Try to do mine about once a month. Driver side is a little noisier, but works fine.

As Vette10R said, spray the pins where the running boards hinge. I don't really have a set schedule when I do it, mainly when I think about it.
So far so good, they sound just like they did when I bought it.
