Lubricating Power Running Boards

[Threesuns1]

I had power running boards installed several months ago at the dealership. Been reading post about lubricating the hinges on a regular basis. It got me thinking about installing grease fittings in the hinge to make it easier to lub. Has anyone tried this? Are there any reasons I should not do this?

My 2022 came with power running boards, driving in a winter climate and living on dirt roads, I've yet to have any issues with the power running boards. The rear deployable bed step, that's a different story. I've had, at times, a difficult time getting the bed step to deploy. I've tried lubricating all the hinge points but it doesn't make a difference.
