Hello all!

The first of March is when summer arrives where i live =D>
Wheeeel... that's when our cab is let out to play after one (cab-)boring winter.

We took the ferry to Denmark and drove along the coast down to Copenhagen. One lovely day, the sun was shining non-stop 8)

I did however notice that the red grab handles have gone a bit sticky.. :shock:
A secure grip, yes, but i don't want to see my friends and family being dragged along as i drive away.. :twisted:

Is there a fix that You know about, I cant seem to find replacements in any of the web shops selling taxi parts.

Also, are front window rubbers all the same, i am thinking of fixing the window leak once and for all(?) so i want a good quality, supple rubber :oops:


Thank You and All the BEST!
Magnus

What have people been doing in the back of the cab to end up with sticky handles?.

Don't laugh, but I found baby wipes excellent for cleaning my very sticky steering wheel! Please let us know if they work on your grab-handles. Chris.

As well as tools,we sell a lot of gloves and clothing in rubber and PVC,for commercial trawlers I hasten to add.
We find the answer after cleaning is to make sure they are totally dry,even dusting with french chalk helps to stop them feeling tacky.

Top Tips =D>

I.ll try them both today.

Baby wipes on the nearside and talcum powder on the offside.

Takes me back 18 yrs to when the kids were running round in nappies :shock: :roll:

I'll be back with the result.

All the BEST!

They worked a treat, both of them :D

The talcum powder was an instant fix, albeit at the cost of slightly paler handles.
The baby wipes worked first time on the less sticky handles, and required a second go on the stiiicky ones.

Thank You all \:D/ =D> \:D/

I took mine off and gave them a good soak in warm soapy water followed by a rub with a stiff sponge. They are (almost) like new.
