A dab of grease on the rollers in the slots and a spot of oil on the other pivot points.

They don't look too worn.

I did wonder if the rollers should go right to the end of the slots ? The rear offside is about an inch lower than the rest of the top when it's up !

I believe that AL use Vaseline to lubricate the scissor action, it has to be acid and resin free grease near the canvas...

When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

How do you think they feel? they have to go in every week and ask for the big tub ............ (maybe that's why they had to move?)
