    Smile 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
