Take and lubricate the rails and all the moving joints on the top. Also treat the top with something like Raggtopp.

What about the rear rain rail on the top? If its cracked, check out the below thread. My repair is in place and pennies on the dollar compared to a new rail.

Like the painted rims. Got a buddy that did that.

Congrats like those wheels.

You can grease the cords and top, I do mine once a year.
