No real resolution

We did take it to SMBW and they assured us that it was fixed when they rolled it outside at 4:45 pm. It came back even more off centered than when we took it there and the jerking/noise is still as...

Advise from SMB

This is the area that is the problem--it jerks, vibrates, and is super noisy. The cylinder slides along this back grey panel but it is not at all smooth. The front cylinder is fixed on the front...

PH Top lube--how do you do it?

My top is super jerky going up and down. It also sounds horrible both ways. What can I do to lube it and do I have to take anything apart? Thank you
