Usage of silicone: We recommend using "silirub PC". The silicone has a lifespan of 1 year and is best replaced regularly (you can use "sealant remover" for this). It is very
important that the silicone is applied in the right conditions:
•
In dry weather
•
In normal temperatures (no extreme cold or heat)
•
On degreased surfaces (possibly use "cleaner & degreaser")
•
Allow to dry out for 1 day

Automatic window-raiser: during the winter period, remove the cylinder, oil it and store it in a warm place. You can always use the manual window-raiser. Do not use the
automatic window-raiser and the manual window-raiser together.
