My Easy Up hood pivots are starting to squeak a bit and the hood is getting stiffer to put up and take down. Anybody know what the recommended lubricant is for the pivots? Many thanks in advance.

Never had this issue but you could try a dry ptfe spray which is virtually colourless, non-damaging to a wide variety of materials and won’t drip everywhere. Plenty at usual on-line providers.

Silicone ! OMG don't get that on paintwork PTFE dry spray might be less risky.
