Advice on how to lube squeaking convertible top?


Recommended Posts

My top squeaks for the last 20% of the convertible top closing. I opened it up at the weekend and used a q-tip to lube krytec in as many of the top pivots I could get to, but many of the pivots are very hard to get to. Particularly, I suspect the main pivot where the main strut connects to the hard section (last one) of the top. However, it appears very difficult to get any lube up in there due to other parts of the roof assembly.

Any suggestions for how to improve access? different top positions, removing some of the top to gain access?

I just did the same thing here in MN (the cold started to make the squeak and rattles a little louder)-

I used Works Moly for the joints I could get too-and some silicone spray with a straw for the ones I couldnt (I used a towel around the area I was spraying to avoid overspray on fabric, ect).

Worked perfect-been squeak free after 2 washes and 1000 miles.
