Dust in van


Hermit

Recommended Posts

Rod,

We have a 2004 XC and it has the older Camec style wind out windows. Someone recently said the larger (double) window flexes in the middle and he found when he went on dusty roads the catch vibrates back so it then lets the window open or get a gap. He suggested we drill a small hole for a screw on the bottom of the window near the catch and insert a small screw before we did dusty road trips. The screw would stop the catch sliding back and keep the window closed.

Hope this makes sense.

It was Phillip Hyde with that great tip about putting a screw in the window frame to temporarily stop the latch from moving sideways and allowing dust in. Once you're off the corrugated dirt road, you just take the screw out to enable you to open the window as normal.

Great tip Phillip and we did it as soon as we got home from the Goomburra gathering. :thumbsup:
