Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308/Mondial window motor current

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

Yes, maybe the connections are a bit more pristeen than most.  My car
is a zero rain car (and when washing I'm carefull to not run water down
the windows into the door cavity) and all of the various connections, etc.
look brand new.

What would happen if you simply "exercised" those connections?  ie -
pull them apart and put them back together with the hope that corrosion
will be wiped off?  A little Stabilant 22 in the process would help also.
