I'm not a chemist, but Google reveals that WD-40 in Germany (or EU?) is different from WD-40 USA. Here in Germany it is mostly what we call 'Petrolether', i.e. basically a kind of white spirit.
If I understood it wel, WD-40 became a brand, based on the original product, but they have now different kinds of lubricants.
Yes, but you mean "chemistry". It is (in Germany) a solvent.
Never mind. Take BALISTOL instead.
And what on Mother Earth could be better for your little Grenadier?
How long had you owned it when that started to happen? For a lot of us, it seems like it’s the rear doors - and I’m wondering if that’s simply b/c they’re used less frequently
Happened to all my handles within the first month of ownership. It’s been a continual struggle as well. Some days they stick worse than others. I’m wondering if it may be temperature related.
Probably around four months. Occasionally the front would stick, then a weekend of the rear doors sticking every single time. Then perfect ever since. Now 6-months of ownership.
Hmm - ok, there goes my theory. For me, it was also a few months in, but still happening randomly a few months after that - not often, but randomly and infrequently
Yep - I’m with you. Not sure about temp - it’s still happening to me in summer (maybe you guys didn’t get the memo down there - summer is supposed to be the hot season). So far, it’s just been in the back seats, and I’ve only had my kids (adults and surprise little) in back, but I’m literally double checking the door after they get in. I had one rear door swing open on a turn with little in the back in her booster seat. Very scary. I’ve got to get this fixed - can’t keep double checking every time.
Like I said, you guys missed the memoJuly is a winter month in Australia. Believe it or not, it actually snows.
Christmas in summer will take some getting used to
. Always hard to pack for an APAC trip when it’s snowing in Seoul and summer in Melbourne.
How long have you owned your Grenadier? A lot of owners are saying “it just stopped sticking” after a break-in period. I’ve had mine since March. I think it’s been about a month since the last time it stuck (it was always the rear right hand door). I took it in yesterday to have it fixed, but am out of town for a few days so we’ll have to see.
I have had my Grenny since May 2023, so 15 months overall. mine is an early Vin
