Default Soft top hinge lub.
Noticed lately that the roof can be a bit jerky in its movement, anyone lubricate the hinges? Maybe a silicon spray or a little spray grease, or even just some kind of aerosol like GT 85?

Silicon or grease based spray is fine, but bear in mind the weather is turning cooler so the top will be less flexible anyway.

I'd clean them up with a WD40/85 type spray & rub some white grease into the pivots. They're probably full of crud.
