Lid Stopped Closing Properly on LBGE

iI've had my Egg for several years now. About 3-4 years ago I replaced the gaskets with the ones that actually work and have not had to do any real maintenance on it since. Recently I noticed a different feel when I went to close the lid. And last night after closing all the vents for a cool down.. 4-5 hours later I'm still at close to 300F. Looked closer today and there about a 1/16" around most of where the lid meets the base... except for toward the back and very left.
I'm about to go loosen and re-tighten all the bolts around the band, but thought I'd check in with the brain trust here first. All ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks folks,
Dan

Ok, this turned out to be easy.. for once. Before breaking out any socket wrenches I broke out the ultimate tool in a can: WD40. A few schpritzes on the hinge and everything is working fine.
