    You saved me £50-£150 with this video brother.
    I was using sheep wool insulation for my campervan and a small patch of wool went through and fell right to the mechanism. I noticed it struggling so I took the cover off etc and removed the wool piece. I saw a few pieces in there stuck, but the mechanism started to work so I didn’t care about it. 3 weeks later it started to be super sensitive for pulling unti I got to the point where I couldn't even pull it out. I thought I have to buy a new/take it to a shop, then I found your video. It is quite obvious, but didn't think about this type of solution. I was spraying quite an amount of WD-40 into it and dragging it for a good 20 minutes. Almost give up when it finally slipped and again... what a relief. Thank you very much!!

    What can cause them not to lock when pulled

      Hi and thanks for watching! The most common reasons are filth and a faulty mechanism

    If there are plastic parts, do not spray with WD-40 because it will destroy or melt the plastics. Use white lithium grease or another application that is suitable for plastic parts.

    • @DespairRepair
      @DespairRepair  Před rokem +3

      Hi, thanks for watching and for sharing!
      I'd say that destroying is a harsh word.
      I've sprayed plastic parts with WD40 lots of times and no damage was done whatsoever.
      But, yes lithium grease spray would be a better solution although WD 40 is a more common item in the household (which is one of the reasons we've used it in the video).

      Yes, a silicone spray is a good alternative especially if the mechanism isn't stuck that much.

    WD40 means water displacement number. 40

    Wd40 is not lubricator. It is cleaner!
