automobile door and must be closed firmly. The door will not be fully closed until the
secondary lock is engaged.
Caution: If you loosen the screws too far the backer plate will release and drop down
into the doorjamb. Should this happen, replace the short screws with a screw that is
long enough to go through the jamb system and into the framework of the sidewall.
• Locks - The key cylinder in your locks need to be lubricated on an annual basis and
as needed. Always use powdered graphite never a petroleum product. The petroleum
product will gum up the cylinder and cause it to not operate smoothly. Apply a light
coating of white lithium grease to the face of the lock bolt to obtain a smooth closing.
• Hinges - The hinges on your door should be lubricated annually and as needed with a
high quality spray lubricant.
• Fiberglass Skin - To maintain good appearance and long service life, Philips door
skin panels should be washed and cleaned periodically. Cleaning removes the
accumulation of dust and dirt that can combine with sunlight and wind to attack
exposed surfaces both chemically and abrasively.
• Cleaning:
= General Cleaning - A 10% solution of trisodium phosphate in warm water (not to
exceed 120°F), may be applied in a scrubbing motion, using sponge, brush, or cloth.
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
= Removing Oil Residues or Difficult Substances - Mineral spirits, applied with a
clean cloth, will aid in removing most oily residues or substances.
= Removing Hard Water Deposits - A 10% solution of acetic acid in cold water may
be used in the manner described in General Cleaning above. Rinse thoroughly after
cleaning.
= Waxing, though not mandatory, will help maintain the appearance and service life
of the door. If waxing, use a high quality, non-abrasive automotive or recreation
vehicle wax.
.
NOTE: Use only non-corrosive cleaning compounds. Avoid the use of compounds
containing ammonia or chlorine since they may cause the panels to yellow. Do not
use rubbing compounds, as they will etch and damage the panel surface.
