Convertible top won't go all the way down.

I'm intrested on your fix, are we talking power or manual top. I might learn something,

It's the same procedure for both really. it's just easier if you have a power top.(stop it halfway and push the top out then lower it all the way) I use beezwax(sp)or unscented candle wax on the brass window zippers to keep it for jamming . all it takes is a little to lube it and it lasts for about a year each application.
I took my top apart when I did my last convertible and used a waxy like lubricant that is supposed to go inside a sealed tube for motorcycles(don't remember the darn name now) to prevent corrosion in the pivot points. that worked like a dream, smooth and even lift and never did get harder to lift. I'll have to got back on the old goldwing site and search for that waxy lubricant/sealer.
