Hi All,

occasionally, when it is warm, if I open the roof there is a granching noise that sounds like the latch/mechanism lacks adequate lubrication. Is there a guide as to what to lube/what lube to use?

Thanks

Noise has gone! Not lubed anything, I'm in south of France and its v hot.

I did however change the car battery before coming down so had to do a few manual resets...
