lube
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
