MAKE POWER WINDOWS LAST LONGER

You can make your vehicle's power windows or wind-up rollers work forever with this little- known secret:

Once a month, lightly spray the window's rubber tracks with silicon spray. The spray makes the windows roll up and down easier, which makes power-window motors last longer and saves wear-and-tear on conventional wind-up mechanisms.
