Retractable hard top cover noise

When I open and close my roof,  the cover has started  making a clicking/clacking sound and shakes a little as it closes down. I’ve greased the cogs and all looks and works ok except for the noise which  clearly can’t be right, any advice  greatly received.  

I think the first thing to check is the two allen screws that you have to undo if you have to raise the roof if it fails when down and you have to raise it manually. There is a long allen key in emergency tool kit for the roof. There are instructions on how to do this on this forum, but for the life of me I can’t find them at the moment. These bolts have been known to come loose and cause juddering.

Okay I’ve had a bit of a search and this shows the bolts I was talking about.
