Lubing hood latches?

[V10SpeedLuvr]

When trying to shut my hood last night, it wouldn't lock in the front latches. The RH latch was hung up, so when I shut the hood, it wasn't able to get into the receiver. All the springs seemed to have good tension. All I ended up having to do was pull on the hood release handle (in the cross hairs) and the latch "reset" itself and everything was fine. My question is, should I hit the latches with WD40/white lithium grease so it doesn't hang up again?

I know not to lube the hinge assembly that keeps the hood up but don't see why lubing the latches (located at the very front of the car) would be a problem. Feel free to correct me. If I should, whats better? WD/40, white lithium grease or something else?

I'd think your assumption would be correct. I'd guess white grease for sure. wait for someone who can answer before you go sprayin though.

Hose them with WD40. Or that greasy wing sauce you eat 3x / day.

WD-40ing the latches may be a difficult process. Can the girl 2nd from the left come do it for me?
