Aircon Vent Flaps - Lubricate?

[mda]

What do you all use to lubricate the flaps that control the direction of the aircon vents?

Matigas na yung sa amin, halos 10 years na kasi yung kotse...

Kailangan bang ibaklas yung panel?

i am wary of putting petroleum lubricant there.. baka lumambot ang plastic.. at sobrang lumuwag.
i imagine, dumi lang yan.. how about plain water mixed with a little rubbing alcohol, 50-50 mixture siguro?

I have a spray can of Lithium Grease sa bahay I use to lubricate the clutch master cylinder of one of our cars. Will try both methods and see. I hope I don't have to remove the panel to get to the actual mechanism haha.

Silicone spray - safe for plastic.
Lithium grease - direct substitute for some middle/heavy duty application.

I'm guessing that I should go out and get silicone spray muna? Planning to do this this weekend.

And you can also use it to window seals and tracks.
