CSR/SV sidescreen hinges

[RWHomer]

CSR and SV female half hinge attached to the windscreen frame are die-cast alloy rather than the nylon hinges fitted to other models.

The male hinge pin is stainless and the combination is leading to quite sudden seizing of the hinge after a shortish period of inactivity and fracture of the female half.

Just annoying - especially when CC out of stock of this version.

Just needs lubricating - something we never had to do with the nylon version.

Thanks for the warning.

 

Good old CopaSlip or silicone grease ? Another bit to soil our clothing (along with splined shaft on QR steering column !)

Use Mr Sheen as the high silicone content will keep it slippy without the risk of grease everywhere

ummm. my '03 SV had metal pins. Never had an issue with them seizing and I've never lubed them either. Sounds like either i've been lucky, or you've been unlucky... The car is used in all weather and often sits outside over night when on tour/away for work.
