It may be shadows but the radiator hose appears to be collapsed and should be investigated. Also is your hood rubbing the left front fender? If so, it may need an adjustment. Plus, you need to find and replace the missing thumbolt on the fuse box cover...it may be loose in the engine compartment somewhere, ya never know.

Oh! I meant to ask what is the correct lubricant for the regulator, window channels (graphite, not silicone?), and the lift mechanism gears?
