Looks like the top itself isn't folding all the way. Perhaps the window area isn't folding properly as its going down? Also, there are fairly deep "troughs" at either end of the package shelf. An item placed on the shelf can easily slide into one of the troughs out of view and impede the top in its last few inches of travel. Ask me how I know. ;)
Since you have gone in to lube the joints i assume you would have caught that though. Just trying to think of the non-mechanical possibilities since I don't entirely know how these tops work.

top inside get moisturized and caused friction!!
 
thank you for reply.
it had been raining and humid for couple of days, and top inside rubber like material and top frame made extra frictions for weird folding. I cleaned them up and works normal now.

How do you go about applying markers and text on top a photo, as in this photo?

in mac pc "preview"app can do those things.
 
if you are mac your "preview" app can do it with simple^^; otherwise you need to use image processing app like 'photoshop'.
I'm not quite sure but phone apps in itunes or in google store will do.
