Squeaky entry step update

Yahoo Message Number: 68767
Thanks to all of you guys who gave me tips on how to get rid of the squeak in the entry steps! I located the two little rubber bumpers, removed the bolt from the screws but could not get the bumpers out! A fellow Country Coacher who had the same problem with his coach tried to remove them to no avail! The little buggers are stuck! I can see them through an opening in the side of the step and they look in pretty good shape so I decided to try good old WD 40. Found a new can with a built in quill, sprayed the bumpers to saturation point and no more squeak!! At least for now!! Thanks again, guys!

Janie,

You will have to reapply the WD40. I think the frequency depends on the weather. It last a couple of months for me, but obviously very easy to apply.

Janie & Jerry:

WD40 is not actually a good lubricant to use due to it attracts alot of dust and grime, the best thing to use would be a liquid pure silicone spray. A good brand would be LPS2 "Liquid Silicone". It is also a good idea to clean the entry step guides of grime and coat them with a silicone spray as well.

Not to mention that the lubricant in WD40 is mineral oil, a petroleum-based lubricant. Petroleum-based lubricants will damage rubber, but silicone won't.
