Default The flappy cables
Everyone with a roadster needs to lube up the tonneau flap cables.
Here's a kit from Amazon that will do the trick :

If you own a motorcycle, you probably already know about this.

Has anyone tried this on the Crossfire cables? Wondering if there is enough room to get the tool on the cable and how well it worked.

There will be the length of the cable stroke at least on the cable, otherwise it will not do the job intended.
