Default Roof issues

Hey guys, so this is my first post as I've never been huge on forums until recently but anyway I'm having issues with my 2012 XKR's convertible roof. When I put it down for the first time in about 2 months the other day it worked fine but when putting it back up it started making what I can best describe as a screeching noise and it was slower, I cringed threw putting it back up and haven't touched the button since. It would figure that this issue would happen the day before I leave for NYC so I'm currently away from the car. I was just wondering if any of you had an idea as to what could possibly be wrong so I can know what to expect price wise for the necessary repairs when I get back.

Warranty should solve any problem you have on a 2012. I have a 2012 vert also but no problems so far.....

My top makes a screeching sound in very hot weather. But not cold weather!

Have you put grease on each hinge or axle? Not sure the correct term, but I would want make sure all moving parts are not impeded.

Use that manufacturer warranty!
