Hi All,
The roof light blind on my Avondale Dart, is a bit stiff, and squeals when opening/ closing, does anyone have any tips please?

Thanks

graphite carbon spray like this(this is just the first one that came up on ebay there may be cheaper if you look) its a dry powder so doesnt hold dust or dirt like any of the wet ones do
also great for zips and awning chanels as it wont effect the waterproof of the fabric
