Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks around mounting points.Use hand-tightening or torque-limiting tools. Incorporate neoprene or rubber washers to distribute pressure evenly.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can dull or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
