A very productive Sunday

Yesterday, the 1st of April, we woke up not quite as early as planned (I think I only got up just after 10 - oops!) to a sunny, chilly day. Perfect for some lid-down working on Bluey, the new race car ( ), which we did. And very successfully too! Now, on stripping Bluey's doors down - taking the handles and door cards off, in order to put some silicone grease down into the runners to get the electric windows to stop squeaking, I suddenly realised that Poppy had a similar issue. So, once the doors were duly rebuilt as was, albeit with the addition of lots of grease, I went over to poppy to do exactly the same thing. If you need to do the same, due to squeaky or slow windows, you'll need: a flat headed screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver and some silicone grease. Firstly, remove the little cap at the end of the armrest handle and unscrew the screw inside. Unscrew the two below the handle and remove the whole armrest and handle. Don't lose the screws! Remove the screw that's just by the latch, pull up the handle as if to open the door and slip the back part of it off. Prise off the speaker cover and set aside. You'll then need the flat headed screwdriver in order to slip round the edge of the door card and pop out the little poppers that attach it to the door. Be careful not to break them. Once these are off, the door card can be removed by lifting it off the top lip of the door and setting it aside. Wind the window down. Spray silicone grease down the inside of the runners (use lots) and down the edge of the window seal. Wind the window up and then down again and repeat. Now wind it up and down a couple more times to make sure it's running smoothly. If not, add more grease to the runners and the wheel in between them. Once complete, replace the door card and handles etc. Easy peasy :-) and good fun too. Car maintenance has been more than I'd hoped for so far!
