Fitting the Bayliss XL Autovent

Fitting video for the Bayliss XL autovent

For the temperature setting, does one twist until the window opens to a certain height at the correct temperature? This section of the vid is not very clear. Also, somehow I’ve over loosened the adjusting dial and the rod came out and oil spilled everywhere. What can I fill the rod chamber with to get it working again please?

I got one of these, fitted the main part, got the piston from the fridge which never goes all the way to the threads as in the video, its an inch or two off, and when fitting it and turning the head the rod just spins, so my window never closes, not very good at all, I will be returning mine

Got one of these for my wife's new small lean to green house but after fitting it it just pops up suddenly when its warm!
Is it meant to open slowly a bit at a time? or quickly pop up as I'm not sure if I have fitted it correctly.

Will this fit a Hartley Botanic Highgrow 10 greenhouse?

Our vents don't seem to be working even despite following these instructions. The adjusters don't seem to do anything at all. During the middle of the day, really hot day, they wouldn't tighten to take the weight of the window at all. It's like they just spin round doing nothing. Really exasperated now. Spent time and money on two new vents for our allotment greenhouse and I honestly can't see a thing we've done incorrectly yet they don't work. Would be really grateful for any advice.

Useful info - BUT it does not explain how to “adjust if necessary” to get the gap between the unit and the glass equal along the length of the unit. This is around 2:40 in the video.
I have fitted at least 6 of these units but never once come across any information anywhere as to how to set this parameter.

And after the 10th attempt to get the alignment right and tight the threads start to strip from the clamps and screws. With toughened glass in the roof vents it worries me that something sharp will eventually come into contact with the glass and break it.

Would be better without music in background as having trouble hearing the directions at

It all looks soooo easy. After the vent arms have dislodged for the umpteenth time, and believe me they will, it all gets a bit tiresome. I really don't understand the adjustment at the required temperature. Ended up wedging open my window with a block of wood! So much for the Bayliss Autovent.
