I’m getting ready to soon do a go over on the 2017 Cabrio and I know the roof slide rails need a good cleaning and lube . I’m wondering how DIY owners are tackling this. What cleaner , technique, lube choices and helpful hints can be shared . My top is getting a bit noisy on its retreat to the down position . It visually looks dirty , and I’m sure that the factory lube as attracted dirt while in the open roof mode .

I performed this service yesterday on my 453 , now the top goes very smoothly up and down . I’m putting this as an annual service in my book .

What grease did you all decide to use?

 

[1stiski]

Waterproof bicycle grease (Pedro’s). Plus easy cleanup and keeping the brush in a bag for future treatments
