Water Intrusion – Water Stain Marks
Water can enter the display where weather stripping has come loose or
deteriorated or where fasteners have come loose allowing gaps in the panels

around the lift eyes and bolts to ensure that water has not entered there. If
so, replace hardware immediately to prevent more water from entering the
display. Also, check electronic components for possible corrosion.
