Hope somebody can help!

I've a sliding window behind the sink on my Devon conversion T25. After months of no use, it's seized. Don't want to force it. Any ideas on how to get it open??

Cheers

Ed

release oil....(plus gas)

warm soapy water.......

be aware some penitrating oils, like wd40 rot rubber

Thanks guys

Would a squirt of WD40 (or GT80 bike oil) followed by a load of very soapy warm water make sense? Detergent by rights would get rid of the oil.

Cheers

When you do try to open it after WD40 and/or soapy water, have one person inside and one outside pushing the window open together, saves pushing the whole shooting match out of the window opening!

good advice!

I had same problem on mine - don't think previous owners ever opened it.
I pressure-washed the outside, right into the channel - leaked a bit but not too much, then scraped out all the mold, algae, palm trees etc which were growing in there. It eventually moved, enabling me to clean out the whole channel.

Thanks again guys - got access to a pressure washer so my armoury is expanding. Should be able to sort it.
