During a post trip interior clean up I discovered the lower pin of the front panel had moved to the left 2 inches and the first spring on the right side had fallen out. I was able to slowly tap the pin back into position but not able to get the spring aligned. I’m assuming with my 2013 Fleet and all the up and downs over the years of the roof resulted in the pin slowly torquing itself to the left. I put some lubricant on the four panel hinges. Works the same as it always has.
Worth a look for all of you on your FWCs.

Great advice, thanks for sharing.
