Main Door Care
Lubrication

and a slight amount of household oil to the lock
mechanisms to keep the locks operating smoothly.
Also, lubricate the hinge pins periodically with
household oil. Use the lubricant sparingly and remove
any excess from exterior skin immediately.

Sticking Windows
Forcing the window open may cause the window
to shatter. Always follow the guidelines below for
releasing a stuck window.
1. Unlatch the window latches securing the windows
on the interior.
2. Apply some 303 Aerospace Protectant to a nylon
wedge window tool.
3. Starting in the corner, tuck the end of the nylon tool
under the glass and gently slide to opposite end.
CAUTION
Prying up or applying pressure to the window may
cause the window to shatter, resulting in personal
injury or unit damage.
4. Once the window is released, wash the gasket with
a mild soap and water solution, and dry.
