How do I maintain and clean VW campervan windows?

Maintaining and cleaning your VW campervan windows is essential to keep them in top condition and ensure clear visibility.

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth to clean your windows regularly. This prevents dirt and grime buildup, which can cause scratches if left untreated. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the glass or tint.
  • Tinted Window Care: For tinted windows, use a cleaner specifically designed for tinted surfaces to avoid degrading the tint. Always clean in a gentle, circular motion to prevent streaks.
  • Inspect Seals: Regularly check the rubber seals around your windows for cracks or wear. Keeping seals in good condition prevents leaks and ensures the windows remain secure.
  • Lubricate Moving Parts: For sliding or opening windows, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks and hinges to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  • Protect from UV Damage: Consider applying a UV-protective coating to your windows, especially if they are frequently exposed to direct sunlight, to prevent fading and prolong their lifespan.

  • Ease of Use: Sliding windows are generally easy to operate, requiring minimal effort to open and close. This is particularly advantageous in a campervan, where quick and convenient access to fresh air is often needed.
