Yes it made a huge difference and all the squeaks gone!Did you reduce the squeaks and rattles.
First use makes a big difference on an old/neglected system.

disable the smarttopHow would I do the broomstick trick with the Smart Top? It opens all the way when I pull the button so not sure how to stop it midway with this mod. Thanks.
if you take longer than 7 minutes, gravity will do its thing and the roof will closeI don't understand the broomstick thing - I open my roof and let go of the button half way, do the gummi, then continue with the open - why do you need to do anything else?
Just ordered my first Gummi stick
You can, but after I think 20 seconds the roof finishes the movement.The Gummi Pflege is top job. Ironically I've actually got two bottles of it that I bought to do my seals on the STI with...so happy days, I've got some already.
Just need to find out exactly where they all are now.
May seem a silly question, but when you lower the roof, can you just stop it and lube the seals that way? It doesnt have to be full put down or up once the process starts does it?
Cheers.
I think trying to jam a stick between the moving roof and the car is riskier than just balancing the roof. There is no risk of damaging the roof since if it falls off-balance it moves down very slowly. The only risk is to your body parts if you don't get out of the way quickly enough.This could be classic internet bad advice, look what I did and nothing bad happened, now you try it. Something with a 0.1% risk of failure would only have a 50% chance of showing up in 500 trials. Isn't the rear window glass about $3k to replace? Use a stick that locks on both ends.
You might not be aware but mb techs use a dedicated tool and the broomstick is just the poor man's copy.I think trying to jam a stick between the moving roof and the car is riskier than just balancing the roof.
