Default Hardtop for winter

Hi there

Going to soon put my hardtop on for the winter. Is there anything I should do before I do this? Eg. Grease seals etc.

Thanks

John

I always apply a layer of silicone grease (shin-itsu) to the plastic trim (at the front edge of the boot) that the hardtop sits on, which stops the creaking noise. Plus all the rubber seals just for good measure.

Nice one. Do you need to clean the seals before applying the grease?
