My '02 S now has 117k miles on it. Over the last year I've noticed the top stuttering (not moving smoothly) through the middle ~1/3 of the cycle going up or down, and it seems to gradually be getting worse. I'm due for a new top and have decided now's probably the time to address this issue.

The car's been in the family since 2006 and 43k miles. No top mechanism maintenance or service has ever been done.

Is this simply a lubrication problem or potentially something more serious? I've searched the archives and have found no posts re similar issues.

Thanks for your help.
