So, I found metal shavings in my trunk, on both sides near the rear corners.

I did a little searching to no avail. I presume the shavings are from the raising and lowering of the top. Anyone else experience this? Are there known lube points I should be aware of?

Problem solved, after a bit of looking I realized that these shavings looked suspiciously like the shavings my CNC makes. I had recently moved some CNC'd parts in my trunk. Those shavings to like to sick to tings sometimes. False alarm guys.

I was just about to get my wrenches out and look for shavings. Glad it worked out for you.
