Default Lubricate door limiter?

My drivers side door is starting to squeak from the limiter.
I tried spaying with lubricant, but no effect.

Anyone know the trick to lubricating the door slider mechanism for the door limiter?

Thanks.

According to what year you have, you can purchase a tool to oil the hinges. As far as the limiter, What type of lube did you use, White lithium grease is the best and you need to get up into the door, so try and find a can that has one of does red extension tips. Either SIR tools www.sirtools.com or Stahlwille tools at www.samstagsales.com carry the oiler for the hinges. I had the same prblem with my passenger side rear door and used the Lithium grease to stop it. But it seems I have to grease it every couple of months, whereas the other doors once a year. I'm thinking there may be something loose inside, but I'm not going to tear the door apart to find out. The rear doors are seldom used anyway, but a front door who probably drive me into a manic stage and I would need to ingest the lithium myself.

Well, of course I've lost the little red, spray directing, tube that comes with the white lithium grease.
But, provided I can find it, I'm still not sure where to spray.
Thanks for the feedback.
