Entry Door and Window Care

Lubrication

Apply a little paraffin or grease to the striker pockets and a slight
amount of household oil to the lock mechanisms to keep the
locks operating smoothly. Lubricate the hinge pins periodically
with household oil. Use the oil sparingly and remove any excess
from exterior shell immediately.
Sticking Windows
Forcing the window open may cause the window to shatter.
Always follow the guidelines below for releasing a stuck window.
1. Unlatch the window latches securing the windows on the
interior.
2. Apply some 303 Aerospace Protectant to a nylon wedge
window tool.
3. Starting in the corner, tuck the end of the nylon tool under the
glass and gently slide to opposite end.
4. Once the window is released, wash the gasket with a mild
soap and water solution, then dry.
5. Use a soft rag or sponge and apply a generous coating of
303 Aerospace Protectant directly to the gasket. Remove
any residue that comes in contact with the exterior shell. 303
Aerospace Protectant may be ordered through the Airstream
Parts Department or via the on-line store at
www.airstream.com.
CAUTION
Prying up or applying pressure to the window may
cause the window to shatter resulting in personal
injury or unit damage.
