The little buttstock cups were what I was thinking of Bill ;
Those are several good types of grease there but all kinda $pendy to my taste .
It's pouring down rain here so I won't be fooling with it to - night .
As always : THANK YOU ! .

Last night I finally began to learn how to service/repair these , it doesn't seem terribly difficult .
I took one apart by depressing the limiting tang then wrapped it in a heavy cloth as I was concerned about flying parts due to the heavy springs inside it .
Turns out you need to close the door 2/3 the way shut so it's not in either of the two detent positions before removing it from the car , I was unable to press or batter the check out of either detent positions using hands , blocks of wood , hammers or mallets .
Once the sliding part came out of the 'U' shaped frame , only one large ball bearing popped out into the rag , I took it the rest of the way apart and spent some time cleaning out the 30 year old rock hard mix of carriage grease and fine dust ~ much of it had to be chipped out with a long narrow tip screwdriver , more on this to come .
I was going to use Lubriplate # 105 Lithium based Brake Grease but I'm beginning to think maybe Gun Cariage grease , like Mercedes specifies for the sun roof sliding parts , is a better choice .
Too bad all those WWII Surplus Stores have long gone out of business , the tiny pots of Lubriplate dustless gun carriage grease were excellent and usually only a dime or so .
The sun went down on me before I was finished cleaning so more on this soon .
It's raining in La La Land to - day but I really need to get this done .- Nate
