Squeaky rear window

[Dickie Dastardly]

A couple of questions folks,

1 - Can anyone advise what silicone spray product should be used to lessen the squeaks off the rear perspex window?
2 - Can anyone recommend a good product for removing dead flies off the front of the car, the service bonnet is splattered in them and they are a pig to properly remove.

Thanks

Richard

Richard,
Re: 1) Any good haberdashers shop should sell silicone spray. I believe the curtain trade folks use it to lubricate the track. Alternatively, a grp moulding place should sell mould release spray - aka silicone.

2) Dead insects - either use some of the purpose sprays at your local factors/Halfrauds or lots of warm soapy water.

For the bugs, you can use a bug sponge which is an ordinary sponge wrapped in fine nylon netting from Halfords or similar (or wrap a sponge in your wife's old fishnets of you're brave ). Use plenty of water, works well on paintwork and windscreens.

Nylon will leave fine scratches in the paintwork especially if you need to rub hard - claying will be a safer way to remove the ones that don't come off after standard soaking

Helicopter tape around the edges helps with squeaking

Thanks for the replies, I bought some "3 in 1" silicone spray today which i've applied - am heading to Aberdeen on Friday so will see if there is an improvement.
Also bought some Autoglym insect remover which seems to have worked a treat on the service bonnet, it cleaned up nicely with minimum pressure,wiping.

Cheers
