So... I but the bullet and bought the damn $400 california top motor. I re-lubed everything after removing the old and yucky grease that was now harder and darker. But, it STILL grinds at the ends (when opening, at the very end, when closing, the very front). Any advice? Am I missing something? At least the top opens and closes now, but WHAT THE HELL!?!
