A few weeks ago, I saw a video of someone removing and reinstalling the Tupperware on a Spyder RT. I saw him spray a blue liquid on the rubber grommet, I am assuming to make the pin slide in better. Can anyone tell me what it would be? or Give suggestions on how to put the panels back on without messing up the grommets?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It’s Windex.

I concur.
While the pedantic purists will no doubt say that the alcohol in Windex will dry out the grommet, Windex works well especially if you don't want to lick the grommets.

IMO Windex is a better choice than silicone grease because the Windex dries thereby giving the grommet a nice, tight seal on the pin as opposed to silicone grease which is a semi-permanent lubrication that makes it subsequent removal of panels easier. I want the assurance that mine are all on tight. To each his own. Definitely no petroleum lubricant.

I always give a shot of windex on the grommets when replacing the panels.
Give the lubrication when you want it, seating the pins.
As stated when dry the windex hangs on tight keeping panels in place.
A silicone lube may allow for premature ejection of service panels! :yikes:

If you are loosing a grommet you can put a plastic zip tie around it to help hold it in. I have never had a grommet come out on the oil cover. Maybe you should start using Windex

Exactly why I use what I stated before -keeps the rubber pliable.

:agree:...and lubricant that doesn't dis-appear is going to assist an un-wanted release ..... that's when the part just leaves the Spyder in the wind and then the ground....... As far as the Rubber Grommets go - I would glue them on first ..... use a silicone type ..... I can't think of any reason you would have to remove a grommet - except for possibly painting the part ....... Mike

:agree: Totally
I super glue all my grommets to the panels, can't think of one reason to ever need to remove them...
