TikTok user @scottykilmerofficial took to social media to explain a cheap hack that should help your car’s electric windows last longer – and you only need silicone lubricant spray.
You can find this product for only £2.75 on Amazon.
He said: “A little electric motor makes your windows go up and down.
“They’re not that strong and if they get stressed too much, they will burn out.
“If the runner gets too much friction, you should get some spray lubricant silicone and spray inside the runner.
“Now, you might make a little mess, but you can wipe that off with a towel.
“Just brake silicone, and it won’t hurt anything as long as you wipe it off immediately.
“Then do the long backside, then run it up and down a few times.”
The mechanic recommends doing this two or three times a year to avoid costly repairs.
