This video aims to demonstrate in as much detail as is reasonable outside of a workshop environment how to maintain the mechanicals of a Smart For Two Cabriolet Roof mechanism.
I have used Copper grease during the video as it aids visual awareness and you can understand the amount I have sued… and where I have placed the grease.
I have had a few messages stating their roof won’t fully close or fully open and this should help recognise what goes where and how the internals should look.
A couple of things I did not mention;-
1- The actual Roof lowering mechanism that lives in the rear compartment is usually covered by a plain large black plastic cover on both sides to protect the gears chewing anything up as it operates and also as the framework opens and closes, stops anything from getting in-between the gaps and causing damage.
mine was missing one and I have left the other off for symmetry.
2- upon following this lubrication process I noticed behind the drivers side.. the mechanism has a plastic lug that was freely spinning. I will investigate this as I think this has shaped off a mount.. it hasn’t caused any damage as yet…
I am NOT a professional mechanic and I do not profess to be one.. I try to show people how to save time and money and make it more convenient in doing some basic maintenance and fixes them selves.
I try to answer every comment and question the same day so if you have any real world questions .. fire away. I have owned a smart 451 now for 6 years in Diesel and petrol format, fixed head and now this drop top version.
if you have any videos you’d like done please ask away… I will, if possible try to achieve this for you where possible.
Thanks for all your support and im really glad ive helped some people along the way.
