HI All - it is with fear and trepidation that I make my first post of something I have tried with our A2 in the hope that
So... the cupholder mechanisms were sticking. when pressed they sometimes didnt come out at all and sometimes only partially erupted !
However, in a flash (of what I hope was inspiration) I remembered that I had some stuff that I use on my mountain bike forks that works as a great lubricant for fork seals. I've used it previously on car boot gas springs and it works pretty well
I sprayed this stuff into the joints of the cupholders and basically anywhere where the metal and plastic was moving against each other and lo and behold both of the upholders are working smoothly now ?? OK - I know this is a tiny thing but it brought great joy to be able to just click the cupholder and see it smoothly move out to position ... I must have sat there and done that for 5 minutes....
I don't know if this is recommended or if anyone out there has got any stronger wisdom on this but it seems to have done a good job for me....
Cheers all
- I've not done something that will cause problems later
- it might help someone else...?
