Here are two photos of the rail that should be lubed thoroughly.

The first photo shows the rear part of the rail, just below the rubber weatherstrip, along with the black plastic receptacle (slider) that sits just behind the lower end of the body-colored "boomerang" arm. On the other side of that 13mm (12?) nut that has the slotted treaded stud through it for lateral adjustment, sits the steel ball that is pressed into the slider. You cannot see that steel ball in this photo, but it looks similar to the one at the end of the V-lever (Disregard the notations in this photo, it was part of a write-up I did on installing a glass-windowed OEM soft top).

The second photo shows the front part of the rail, just to the left of the white plastic ball cup.

Regards, Maurice.
