Adjustment / Greasing  of  Roof  Lock Point Empty Adjustment / Greasing of Roof Lock Point

Post by Etienne Wed 19 Oct 2022 - 12:37

Hi all, it must be possible to adjust the tension of the roof locking system.... 
When closed,I hear a knocking sound in the area above the windscreen.

I read somewhere that a noise in that area can be solved by greasing / adjusting the locking points. 

I can't find where / how to adjust this lock ,... (increase the tension...)

Has anyone done this ?

Hi, the car just needs some silicone spray where the latches above the windscreen.

Adjustment / Greasing  of  Roof  Lock Point Empty I works!

Thank you very much for the tip. I cleaned the points, then sprayed them, including the rubber joints and all. Now I enjoy "The sound of silence". ( Not the Moody Blue's ...) 

Tumbs up !

Adjustment / Greasing  of  Roof  Lock Point Empty Shock absorbers

Post by pineapple Thu 27 Oct 2022 - 8:38

Hi all,
Had my front shock absorbers replaced a short while ago. Have noticed that my steering seems a little off, like tyres need air. Has anyone else had this problem?  Thanks

I advice to have your wheel alignment checked in a garage. Measuring is knowing
