Adjustment / Greasing of Roof Lock Point
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 ?

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 !

Shock absorbers
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
