Default Lube Rear Power Door - Where?

I have 2005 RX - my rear power door try's to lift but most of the times if can't make it up. I'm trying to figure out where exactly I should lube; what part or parts.

If someone can post a pic that would be great.

Thanks fellow RX'ers.

I've read on here that some have had to lube the door seal to prevent sticking and others have had to replace the door struts to help it stay open.

Lube the lift struts with silicone spray. If that doesn't work you may need to replace them. Many members here use these as oem replacements. Filter your results with fit for the 2005 RX330:

With our 2004 RX330, that meant the struts were going bad ... replaced with StrongArm struts as OEM was just too expensive. So far, so good.
