I tried that first with no success. I don't think it could penetrate deep enough.

Same problem with catches some weeks ago, and tried drizzling a little WD40 with a cotton bud, with limited success

Another issue is cupboard doors have now swollen, probably due to damp but I've mentioned that on another thread

The material used to fabricate the catches has a different consistency to catches on previous vans, and it seems that the catch, and maybe the doors are not of the best quality - maybe a bad batch as we never had such problems with the older E445

For those non chemists out there please note that silicon is not the spelling for silicone the sealant
Silicon is a chemical element, which has the symbol Si and atomic number 14 and is used mainly in semi conductors. Most commonly occurs combined with Oxygen O2 in the form of Silica (SiO2) to make glass/abrasives
Silicones are an ‘organic’ type compounds combined with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are used to make sealants
Sorry to be a technophobe but I thought that I would share this fact with you

Laughing So is it silicon spray or silicone spray ? Laughing either way it is better at lubricating the catches than wd 40 as it sticks and not strips Laughing
