If it's clicking then it's probably already broken, just replace it and have done with.

I had the same problem a few years ago. The hinge was fine but the attachment on the A pillar was failing and just needed to be repaired. I followed some instructions found on this site (sorry, cannot find them right now), lubed the hinge and the problem was solved.
