Hood hinge problem solved

I have a 55 with the usual problem having to push down both sides of the hood after closing it.
I solved the problem!!!

I sprayed much white lithium grease into the springs and pivots.
To my amazement, the hood now closes all the way without the usual pushing down the corners.
