Hi everyone,

Over the weekend, I noticed the driver's door sticking a little when activating the W-A-L system. Do I need to silicone the hinges in the rood of the doors and also the rubber seals around the doors?

Was working really well, just started to stick over the weekend (maybe cause it's winter here?).

the rubber seals around the doors?.

Start here. Give the seals a good silicon wipe down as well as their matting surface on the door itself.

Gast struts are weaker when cold.

Thanks for the speedy responses!

I'll go over the seals over the weekend and blowdry the struts. *L*

7 days of ownership and counting ...... :)

What he said! I missed your location/ winter comment and simply assumed you were state side in our warm weather.

My doors are droopy at the moment, due to the cold. In summer they open real strong and give a bit of a bounce when they hit the top.

We get (in Adelaide) 3 or 4 degrees celsius at night of late, and the days have been topping 15-17. It probably gets colder in Victoria though, they get snow over there, not sure where in Vic SIMid is though?

Here in Melb, its roughly 3 degrees at night and 15 degrees during the day. Not close enough to snow, only on the mountain ranges. Where i live further north of Melb, it gets a touch below zero some nights.

They are and this idiot American had to use the internets to figure out how cold it was in Aussieville :reading:

*LMAO*

Well, the coldest capital would be Canberra and the hottest would be either Darwin or Cairns.

But looks like it's cold enough for the doors to stick and the struts to freeze.
