pop-up hinges siezed.

[Wooley91TSI]

So I purchased my car with non-functioning pop-ups (stuck in up position) thinking it would be an easy fix. I removed all the plastics, unhooked the motors and sprayed all the hinge points with multiple rounds of pb blaster over 2 days and they still won't budge.

Does anyone know if there are any tricks to freeing siezed hinges or am I going to have to track down entire new assemblies?

Nope, that's it... Just keep spraying them and trying to work them. They will break free eventually. Good luck!
