Films
Films will age and become brittle - this is entirely
normal: this is not an error.
The following factors have a negative effet on the
life or colour fastness of the films:
▶ Sun rays
▶ moisture
▶ Air pollution
▶ Stones, e.g. due to the rebound of the cargo during
transport on the roof rack
Protection of hollow spaces
Corrosion-prone cavities of the vehicle are perma-
nently protected by preservative wax at the factory.

stains with mineral spirits.
