Subject:      Lubing the Pop-Top Joints
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Can someone recommend a lube for the joints, pivots, etc for the
framework that raises and supports the Westy pop-top?


In particular I'm looking for something that will not stain the canvas
which, as you know, will rub against parts of the frame, especially
when folded down.


I gave my pop-top that Viagra kit (gas struts from Mark) and it works
differently and better -- but the set-up seems to put more forward
force on the joints and it feels like they want to bind a bit whereas
before the top was heavy but no binding was noted.


TIA for any advice.
