The parts do not bend. It's a good idea to clean out dirt and loose rust with compressed air and them apply some lubrication.

I've used Micromist on similar hinges and it works well. You may have to wipe away excess oil for a few days.

A dry hinge will bind and rust, and can cause damage due to excess friction.

Avoid forcing the hood or allowing it to fall open or shut. It's a good idea to secure it somehow if you have to open it outdoors on a windy day.
