I sprayed lubricant(wd-40, silicone lube, etc.) on the rails near the doors and where the hood latches on top of the radiator. It takes a while to work it into the latch, use the little red tube to get it down into the mechanism. Before, the hood release lever required quite a pull to release, now it is easy and I don't feel like I am stretching/breaking the cable everytime I open the hood. Spraying the rails stopped the screeching sound it made every time.
Hope this helps, Lyle.
