Default convertible top levers
Hey All,

My passenger side convertible top lever is HARD to move. it was very noisy (as i comment on in the video) but i replaced the broken trim piece and it got much quieter. Any thoughts as to what is making the handle so brutally stiff? can you grease them?

I’ve uploaded a video showing the difference
