arthur49 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Its 2 years old and become stiff to crank up. I had one on previous van and very pleased with the performance but it too developed stiffness. On that occasion leaves/debris had got into the mechanism on the roof. On this van though thats not the issue. I've loosened, oiled (3in1), and re-tightened the two pivot bolts on the roof, along with the plastic bushes. Its improved but still stiff. Instructions are not helpful. I've messaged RoadPro but wonder if anyone on here has experience of this and how was it fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Oil won't do the plastic bushes any good. Try silicone spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Robbo - 2016-03-25 3:24 PM Oil won't do the plastic bushes any good. Try silicone spray. Quite right a silicon/Teflon spray,should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur49 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks guys. I tried silicone spray first but the 'plunger' failed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur49 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 UPDATE RoadPro tell me that the likely cure is to remove the interior assembly from the ceiling where a plastic nut will be seen up against the roof. Using a 24mm box spanner loosen this nut SLIGHTLY. Now I haven't tried this yet as I don't have the correct size box spanner but RoadPro confident this will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
