How is the Smart 451 hood maintained?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Convertible top

To be able to carry out maintenance on the hood of the Smart 451, it is necessary to lower it completely, so that the motor and the gears located on the sides of the rear window are accessible. These must be constantly lubricated with special oil, to limit wear and prevent rust. If one of the gears or the motor is excessively worn, it must be replaced with new spare parts. It is also convenient to lubricate the sliding rails of the soft top, which are located in the upper part of the car.
