Re: [MV] Fwd: Lube for Vinyl Cab Top Installation

Use the lube (dielectric compound) Buzz mentions to coat the lamp sockets in
all you fixtures, brake lights, marker lights, etc. Connectors will benefit
from it too, particularily those that are twist lock. The gaskets may have
long since dried up and make the connectors hard to turn when installing.
It works for me.
