    And if you live in a hot climate, use some of that aluminum duct sealing tape and it won't melt and fall back down, leaving your car wide open while you're out shopping or at work. Then you can cover with some matching duct tape for your door, for a more discreet look.

  • @AbbreviatedReviews
    @AbbreviatedReviews 3 года назад +8

    I also learned from a random mechanic that if it starts slowing down and eventually stopping, you can use some WD-40 along the front and back tracks and that often alleviates enough friction and removes enough dirt to get it working again.
    I thought I'd have to replace the window motor in my last vehicle, but every few months I'd just have to spray the ends when it started to slow down. I used the silicone WD-40 so it would last and be water resistant. Also never hurts to have a can available...
