Automotive Talk 2 Way

Many cars now come with tinted windows to help with sun’s glare and add a bit or privacy to the occupants of the vehicle also. Of course these windows also set the car off too, making your car look cool or better looking at least.

Being able to see where you are going is probably an important thing when driving, but you would be surprised how many people just rely on what out of their washer bottle, front back and sides. So now and again it is worth while just getting those windows clean, not just so your car looks better, but from a safety point of view also. Using the wrong types of cleaner can leave streaks or even damage your windows over time, so there is a secret to the type of cleaner you should use on your car’s windows.

Ammonia free cleaner is the secret, just spray it on and use a cloth or tissue to take the cleaning fluid off. The video tells it all, but it is not rocket science, just make sure you use ammonia free window cleaner.

I suppose there was a time in the UK where we need arm action to open the windows in our cars. And for many vehicles we still do, but in the USA that was frowned upon many years before us in the UK. The traditional track for the side windows to go up and down has now been replaced by a drive cable which is easier and quicker to replace.

Although for the UK and has no reference to any car we sell here in the UK, here is an American mechanic showing us how to remove this window drive cable, from his unrecognisable Auto. (Well to us anyway). But one presumes the technology is the same over here and whether it is an Auto or a car you refer to, the job should be done in the same way.
