Ok awesome. On my to-do list was greasing the mechanism of the convertible hydraulics and all latches and door hinges. I ordered the hood release lever so once I get it I'll put it on and take care of that maintenance. Thanks for the tip with the penetrating oil. I already have the lithium grease and penetrating oil ready to go.
