best lubricant for the motorized deck and roof bolts?

What is the best lubricant for the motorized roof and deck bolts?

I use white lithium grease on the lock screws as well as the jack screw threads and the drive cables. It doesn't get as stiff as regular grease in colder temperatures (even though I usually don't drive the car in cold weather).

Thanks, that helps a lot. How do you lubricate the jack screws? Do they have to be removed and taken apart?

For the jack screws, I lubricate the screw thread by pulling off the covers (the screw covers are held onto the jack base by snap rings) and then apply the white lithium grease to the screw threads. The attached video from Nick Keilen shows a method to completely remove the jack screws and disassemble the screw drive from the base of the jack screws and clean and apply white grease to those as well, but I have not gone that far with my maintenance. I did pull the cables, remove the inner drive cable and clean and apply white grease to that as well for both the deck and roof drives. They seem to run free and quiet, so I have left it go at that for now.

Thanks. This help is great.

i watched dad years ago . and since I was the little kid I got to crawl around the car .
he made me with a brass oil pumper 30w oil .
dave. put those oil catch rags around bottom of the lower jacks , so I did /.
next i pumped a doz oil squirts in top of the roof jacks and let it run down .
he next moved the roof back for the motor cycle chain lube .
I sprayed the hinge points with long straw . this set up like grease .
sprayed roof screws .
decades latter I got my own skyliner .
and lifted out one roof jack at a time took out the five screws and added
some STP and re sealed them up .
with both drive cables at motor spin ed forward with fingers I hooked em up
and did deck jacks too . this quietness of the deck I was not used to .
as a kid I greased the roof guide pins . and had to look upside down under
rear pac tray for rust .
At this point I had to Let up on the retract paddle To let roof Coast
to the rear guide tracks then flop the roof down .
Today , a good 120 amp alt would help lol
