My Turn for the Roof to break

[Stash36]

No, no lubs is advised and it runs super smoothly 9 times out of 10.
I've been advised to try clean out the fluid reservoir and put fresh fluid in. Anyone done that can talk me through the process?

Update. I thought this jerky roof movement had gone away, now realised it only happens when the engine is running. I have a smart top and tend to open it with three clicks on the remote. If I open or close with the engine running, the jerky roof happens every three or four cycles. It doesnt happen at all with e gone off. Does that inform any ideas?

@RobbiZ4 Should all of the joints in the roof mechanism NEVER be lubricated?

Well, my current view is NO, NEVER, as most of the joints contain an inner bushing. There is a minor exception regarding the rear roof shell, where its 2x2 locking hooks grab around their bolts.
