When/if it comes back - just do half next time - ie lower or upper, left or right and use that over a few iterations to diagnose which one it is.
Yeah, because the lube will only be a temporary fix.

You could try lubricating them one by one until you find when it goes silent.

Also WD40 is not ideal for rubber as it will degrade it. Silicone lubricant is safer.
Shoot... Maybe I'm not using a good product, but my attempts with silicone lubricant have not been very successful so far (at least in this context... :wink: )
Seriously, it just doesn't stick well to the materials, particularly to those that are exposed to wind/water...

@Matt & Steve: thanks!
