Creaking boot

I had an awful creaking noise coming from the back, was worried the latch was going bad. But I figured out the gas strut was the culprit. Squirted lube at the joint and fixed it! I wish all annoying things were this easy to fix!

Posted this for everyone's future reference, not to brag.
