ISSUE: Manual vent windows that are not opened very often may stick to the vent window weatherstrip making them hard to open. In some cases, the high opening efforts may cause the weatherstrip to pull out of the vent division bar.

ACTION: To correct this, apply "Krytox" oil to the vent window weatherstrip using the following service procedure.

FIGURE 1:





1. Open the vent window all the way.

2. From inside of vehicle, apply "Krytox" oil on the weatherstrip sealing lips of vent window, Figure 1.

FIGURE 2:





3. From outside of vehicle, apply "Krytox" oil on the weatherstrip sealing lips of vent window, Figure 2.
