I just need to know what it the best thing to use to lubricate the AFT roof mechanism, I am assuming 3 in 1 on the arm and grease for the rail runs with the white plastic wheel in. Is this correct?
Thanks a million

Re: AFT mechanism question
I always used silicon spray on the runners and spray polish (Pledge) on the chrome part of the dampers.

Re: AFT mechanism question
Hi
I use white spray grease on the runners, and as John (Francophile) suggests, use summat on the rams . I use silicon spray on a kitchen towel, and wipe the rods with it....DON'T spray the stuff everywhere...silicon spray is not nice stuff, especially if you breathe it in....DANGEROUS!
Cheers

In the beginning there was nothing , then God said "Let there be Light".....There was still nothing , but ,by crikey, you could see it better.
Re: AFT mechanism question
It is not recommended to use any type of lubricant/silicone/ or polish on the rams (chrome bits) simply use printer paper or similar and give them a good rub until there are no black marks on the paper.
