Lubrication
It Is essential that the hinge pins and door locks are
lubricated at regular Intervals.
On Rapier cars an oil hole Is provided In the shut
face of the door approximately on a line with the
operating push-button of the exterior handle
When not In use, the oil hole is sealed by a
polythene grommet.
When oiling the door locking mechanism the
windows should be fully wound up, and after
oiling, the doors should be left open for as long as
possible, otherwise, since some oil Is bound to be
wasted, It may flow out of the drain holes and
possibly into the interior of the car.
The wards of the lock should be lubricated by
applying oil to the key, which is then Inserted Into
the lock in the normal manner.
The push-button of the exterior handle is lubricated
from the outside.
