Hey guys...My top binds at the first pivot point when going down...especially in the HOT weather! It goes up OK...Any suggestions on where to look??? Motor??? Pump??? Other than that the top is adjusted perfectly. Thanks for any help in advance!

Lastfox, must be nice! (your manual).
i have no info on the top maintenance, so i wing it (i have two verts). i will lube all the joints (scissors) on each side every so often, for fun. dont go nuts, or you will attract dust....that is kinda what i was goin for in my first post. sometimes a smidge of lube can go a long way.
good luck.
