Does Anybody Do This Maintance?

[jro909]

kind of bored out of my cranium and i was just curious does anybody luve their lock cylinders or touch the weather stripping? i've done nether..is it worth it?

[mtiffinal]

I don't do the lock cylinders, I try to clean the weather stripping when I wash, but seldom lube them.

[jro909]

i'm quite tempted to do the lock cylinders, just because winter is coming and i opted out of power locks when i bought my truck

[mtiffinal]

It sure couldn't hurt.

 

I just noticed my sig pic is gone!!! WTF

i can see your sig pic man, what type of lube is used?

[mtiffinal]

Theres a GM part number but I'll have to look for it. I've seen it on this site.

I'd certainly consider doing the lock cylinder. I've been locked out before, and the lack of use of a key (keyless entry), the lock cylinder was locked up. So now I spray some anti-freeze into the lock cylinder and work the key a few times a year.

clean and lube the weatherstripping - yes

id say do the lock cylinders. i was locked out of my truck on saturday when my key fob decided it wanted to take a break for a while and my key wouldnt unlock the door

When I use the stuff to clean the interior trim I go around the weatherstrip. Mostly to remove the dirt that will rub through the paint from the opening and closing the doors and the vibration.

I was having some squeaking around my one of my doors, and applied silicone grease as the manual states and have not had a problem since.

Pulled this number out of the owner's manual....(GM Part No. U.S. 12371287,

 

 

in Canada 10953437).

 

 

 

).

Yeah, I lube the locks, the weather stripping, the door hinges, the hood and tail gate latch and most of all the spare tire mechanism..

Dielectric grease works great for weatherstripping. A small tube of Permatex Dielectric Grease (1/3 oz) at chain auto parts stores is only a couple bucks and one tube will do an extended cab or crew cab truck.

 

Just clean the weatherstripping, dry it off, and apply a very small amount and rub in.

Yes, actually I just did the weatherstripping in my wife's Tahoe Sunday night. I used Napa's sili seal (spelling?) or whatever it is called.

 

I also do the locks especially after my tailgate lock breaking under warranty.
