Don't spill beer on your window switches. Got it.
Thought we been through this before. Been doing this for years.
Stop calling people stupid. That's an insult to the subscribers that made you.
I thought you preferred the ptfe spray for the window tracks? Is the silicone a better choice than the ptfe? Which is best for cold weather environments like a Montana winter ;)?
Bought 16 yr old daughter a 2007 Lexus RX350 4WD Sport 105k miles. 8500$. Any thoughts? 1 owner very clean
Imagine how many people this gentleman has helped over the years... and for free!
He's the best.

He didn't begin doing these videos to make money, after doing them for awhile & getting enough followers then he made have discovered that he can also make some money doing it & there's nothing wrong with that but it's not about the money to him!
Scotty, I’m 72 and you make me happy! I can do most of the things you talk about! Thank you! Never stop this! Old little teacher ladies need help, too!
Thank you for your service to us uneducated 😃
What a pity that ladies rely on men when it comes to repairs and breakdown. Society ought to bring the girls along, so they will be less helpless. It's our fault, because we insist on doing everything for the girls. Girls have the brainpower; let's give them a chance to use their brains and show us that they CAN cope with repairs and breakdowns. My wife could do everything I could do and, sometimes, comprehend a system better, and show her hubby (me) what was going on. Jeeez, she was good.
@@educatedmanholecoverbyrich8890 stfu .
Cool!

We must protect Scotty at all costs! He is a national treasure! I've saved so much money by watching his videos and doing my own maintenance.
Saved us from crooked mechanics as well
No, international. Greetings from Europe!
lol u gotta be kidding
I've always worked on my own vehicle's since I was a child learning what I could from my uncle who I thank so for teaching me what I know today but I also have to say we can also learn a lot from our internet so I also would like to thank Scottie for all his amazing information on basis cars repairs and then some I'm retired now but it doesn't hurt to learn a little more as I can now help others in the same way I learned and I have helped many individuals including females friends and relatives who many seemed to be very interested in learning about car's and how to do basic repairs so to Mr Scottie thank you for all ur help over the years you really are a good person and friend I hope u never stop doing ur wonderful videos..🚗🚙🚘
@nekochan7667 No! Intergalactic! Greetings from Delta Zeta 824914
Just the idea of seeing Scotty flinging his arms around calling my car a piece of crap or an endless money pit would be the best thing ever!!
Scotty has done this about my car, it was fun to watch!
Hell he's said it about every car even some Toyotas lol
From one old man to an aging one, you're the greatest. To anyone reading this, this man is a treasure.
Yes people. Don't let your kids spill their beers on the window switches.
That is right.
My kids were mid thirties and forties.
@@loktom4068 are there any states left that even allow open container for anyone?
@@drucifer_too lol no
andrew, you beat me, lol.
Don't be asinine, that's what sippee cups are for.
Additionally, the silicone spray helps tremendously to keep your windows from freezing to the runners in the winter. Don't just spray it on the side runners as Scotty demonstrates, but along the top and bottom as well. Anywhere the glass makes contact where water seeping between the runner and the glass can freeze.
An important thing to remember is if you have dogs in the car they can stand on the down switch while they're looking out the window so make sure to hit your lock out to help save your window motor
People thought I was stupid because I did this , glad I've been doing it right all along .
People were right about both of you
Abso lutely just be careful in the snow. I live in Canada and I did this once and lost control of my vehicle. Keep your pressure low if slippery conditions, if you inflate to much, max is too much in negative temps, you will lose grip.
I have a 2002 Nissan Altima ( I bought new ) that I painted the original muffler with Aluminum paint every year prior to changing for winter tires. It's still looks great after 18 years !
@LLC 5016 the window seals are easy and cheap to replace though.
@AngryPostmanSthlm2 say what? That’s a difficult read....
I can't stop watching his videos when new ones show up. Is he hypnotizing me with his hands? It's working.
Hmmm good point
his Toyota Celica has been 26 years old for like 5 years now
It just feels that way because you hear it so often since he puts out 6 videos a week.
Whenever I see a normal person driving a really old car I think "That guy is really smart".
@My Signin In Spanish cars are masculine.
@My Signin In Spanish is Jesús, and is pronounced differently.
Me and that Celica were brought to be, in the same year.
I was born on Jan 9th, so I'm likely older than it.
I'm 27.
That Celica will be the same age this year as well.
Let’s just appreciate all the work this guy does he has helped millions of people!!
I found many stupid things about myself when watching Scotty. I am now becoming a genius after following Scotty.
I discovered the satirical movie 'Idiocracy' is, to all intents and purposes, a documentary. 🤣😆

Scotty! Give people the option of bringing their car in to you for you to make a personal video walk around of their car for $50!! You wouldn’t have to edit anything! Just a five minute video of your thoughts as you check it out! $50 for five minutes! You’d make a fortune!!!
I would give him 100$
I can give u the request ur asking him
I would come to y'all or bring it to me or I can use mine from the many junkyards to teach u about ur specific car I would love the it's my dream to help and b on CZcams and to b noticed for my talents
Educated me without a sales pitch, enjoy his sense of humor.
I actually got some silicone spray for my windows this morning, and I must say that I was pleased with the results. No more sticking windows for me. Thanks, Scotty!
Does it help for winter ice-sticking as well?
No, that's different. Just wait for the ice to melt.

One of the BEST General Maintenance videos for the average person I've ever seen. Scotty covers it. This man is a Saint!
I'm a 52 year old computer geek. I can fix most hardware and software and/or troubleshoot what the issue is. Your channel is so common sense and to the point, it's appreciated. I was always a very basic mechanic, but as I got older and more comfortable (lazy) I stopped fixing it myself and just paid the mechanic. I just bought a 2014 Lexus RX 350 and it is an awesome (ugly though) car. I'm going to keep watching your video and DIY a lot more. Thank you!!!
Just got a ‘97 Toyota RAV4 with 166k miles. I am really looking forward to this vehicle lasting forever. With your maintenance tips, I’m sure it can!
Same with my 96 explorer
Grown ups - hold your beer in your right hand if you're driving on a bumpy road. Keeps them window switches dry.

Oh wow, it actually worked haha I cant believe this works haha my 1st gen honda crvs power windows have been stuck for years and after watching this, I really can't believe my eyes they finally worked.😍👍🏻👍🏻Thank you❤️
We called manual windows Armstrong windows when I was a New/Used car salesman over 28 years ago! 🤣 I love watching your videos, I learn something and am entertained at the same time! Hopefully your page is monetized! You are a National treasure Scotty!
Scotty just disassembles his Cars for the hell of it LOL
So Dad was right all along "stop playing with the window you'll wear it out"

And can hear my dad saying that
Thank you for the smiles
When I was a young boy I burned my dad's semi window motor😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@aurelmarine9493 Probably prohibited by your company, but you could stick a switch in so you can cut power to the rear switches if you think a particular fare is gonna be a problem :P

Love your work Scotty...it’ll be a sad day when you retire. Thanks for all the great content :-)
HOLY CRAP IT WORKED FOR MY 2004 Camry
04 camry is a great car. My O4 has over 500,000 KM's on it and is going strong.
@@stevespademan9611 mine is close lol 460k
Thats one FUGLY looking car (the whole generation), but nice and reliable tho.
I just bought a 2004 for my daughter with 210,000 miles and it looks and runs great.Hopefully it will last another 100000 miles!
I did this once on my window and it worked. It worked so good that when the window was going up, it kept going and never stopped. Til this day my window never came back down from the heavens.😀
Im amazed how this guy can talk without a pause
He has so much information. It’s awesome
That's called "editing in post"!
Pro Tip, when you use the auto down, after the window has completely rolled down, quickly flip the switch up and let go. The reason for this is after the window has completely rolled down, it can take quite a few seconds for the switch to auto-cut power off from the motor. This will really save you a headache and a ton of driver side window motors. Cheers
Whoah, thank you. That should have more likes.
Yeah I remember when the master switch went out on my 2014 Nissan Sentra. They wanted to charge me $545.00 for a new one. I took my car, went to a local junkyard, pulled a master switch out of one of the 30 wrecked Sentras that were close to mine in make and model, put it in and it cost me 75 bucks.
I did this on my Corolla, first three windows went fine. On the fourth one, the little straw shot off into the door. Be warned, make sure the little straw is secure before using.
Always something to learn everyday. Thank you Scotty
Thank you Scotty, all these tricks and tips keep my 02' Rodeo running like I just bought it.
That's dedication. Scotty working on cars in hurricane forced winds.😯
*If Scotty had a longer life-span:* _"My 1926 Ford Model A still works perfectly fine."_
it wouldn't surprise me to see a video of what to do for your 1926
Ford never produced a Model A in 1926. First Model A Ford was produced in Oct. 1927.. it was introduced to the public in Dec. 1927. So, not likely Scotty would make a statement about an imaginary1926 Model A.
😆
That heating and air conditioning is just another hula hoop (passing fad).
I wish he was a Toyota
Everything people need to know about car maintenance and life preservation in this short video! Everyone with a car should watch this!
Wow Scotty I feel like like I just finished the old guys advanced rapid review course. A load of great information. You're still the best! Amazing how gracious you always are. One could pay some bucks at a JC or Tech school for the knowledge you freely pass on to others.
Thank you.
Yes he’s been my savior!!!!😊❤
Scotty, I have been watching your videos for about 10 years and it's been of great help! thanks a lot!
Thanks Scotty for taking the time to go over all of these details.
That silicone helps prevent from getting your car doors being stuck & frozen shut. During winters, right before it get freezing cold, I spray our car doors rubber weatherstripping with film or coat of this, and prevents them from being frozen stuck. The regular WD40 helps as well, since used to use that. And helps prevent from dry-rot.
I recently had problems with my Avalon windows that I thought was electrical until I saw this video. Tried your advice and magically they all started working perfectly with only 5 minutes effort. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!🤗
Hey Scotty great job I don't have to tell you how many people don't do this stuff even when they're some what mechanically inclined. Some people just don't learn which keeps mechanics like you in business.
I've been doing it with some regularity since seeing Scotty do this. It does help older motors by reducing the resistance.
Scotty, thank you for everything you do. My 2002 Ford F 150 rides like new thanks to you and a wonderful local mechanic.
My late husband was a faithful follower of your videos and always paid close attention to what you said and would apply your technics as well. Lately I have been watching your vides, and understand why he liked you so much. You are truly one of a kind. Thank you for all you do.
Another great video, thanks for the reminders 😀, we often forget.
God bless you Scotty and family
Thanks Scotty, for the video on windows, have a good evening.
thanks you too!
"Keep the beer away from the switches", Another reason not to drink and drive...
I love your videos. I'm a mechanic, now proffesionally and not just in my garage, and yiur videos are always incredibly helpful advice and tips and tricks when I have to do diagnostics or explain things to people. The battery one is one I actually new about prior, and it's why I always roll one window down all the way, and the other half way. Once the first is half I do the other note whether or not I heard a difference in power between the two, and then the first thing I do is check the battery. But hearing it from you rest assures me I've been doing the right thing all along
Wow! Your video is a wealth of knowledge. As a single woman who is not car savvy I think you’re a godsend. As a nurse, it’s fascinating how the mechanics of a car can be analogized to the hemodynamics of the human body. I watch you most evenings and learn something each time. Thank you!!!
As both a retired RN & a car chick, I've explained health information to car guys by understanding how both work. Works to explain how internal combustion works to medical, non-car folks too!
Hemodynamics is really interesting, honestly a word I never thought of or heard, but the concept itself is something I'm familiar with. We basically have a red river (well, red to our eyes whenever some of it unfortunately escapes the body) circulating through and around our insides and keeping the system of the human body running smoothly. It's like a courier or public transit in some ways too, delivering nutrients and disease-fighting organic compounds wherever they're needed, and removing toxins from the body. I used to get squeamish thinking and talking about this stuff (still do if it's about serious injuries or bodily malfunctions), but I find it very fascinating overall. It's good to know how your meat suit works!
This guy is literally GEM of old school skilled craftsmen...❤
I've been getting recall notices in the mail for a power window problem for my 14 chevy express. not taking it in a chevy dealer bc I dont want them sabotaging my van.
@@mcc7762 i would look into it. I read that they can expire after 10 years?
Recalls do expire. Had a fuel pressure control module die on my 09 Silverado. They had a recall on them a couple of years ago but they stopped the recall, so the module was not covered. Cost me about$700 dollars to get it done.
You are a life saver. I am now driving my daughters Toyota Tundra truck, 2008. Needs some TLC and since I’m retired, I could do some myself. Maybe. I’m 71, female and wished I could take a mechanic course 101. I just feel like I did after listening to you. OMG, your great. I’m in Texas too.
I’ve always preferred a thin coat of Vaseline on battery terminals. Yes as it heat up the film will get thinner but the stuff is cheap and a good glob will last quite a while. Does a great job keeping the battery acid and gunk off the terminals and exposed electrical metals
My father does this too. As a mechanic I would have to agree.👍
Really good effort, Scotty, just packed with information and entertaining too.
Silicon I never knew this & I never want to be stupid again! will do this.
YES.THE SI IS SLIPPERY&DOESN'T ALLOW DIRT TO ADHERE....NOT TRUE W/STANDARD WD-40.
Regular WD-40 is only for metal, not rubber. It will damage the rubber. Always use silicone on rubber or plastic.
I don't appreciate Scotty calling people stupid and you all made him and put money in his pocket I don't subscribe to any of them I just watch the video that I like.

I don't know much about cars, but I come from a family of mechanics but noone has been as engaging as you talking about this stuff, I drive a mix of cars as my dad has a lot of cars older than me that I drive and my own car is a new EV and the first automatic I own. I really enjoy these videos!
I love Scotty. He is hilarious and a car genius.
Scotty’s a genius.
Hello from Toronto Scotty:) luv ur videos and all the great advice. I never knew about silicone for windows. My windows seemed to work fine but after putting on silicone they definitely run smoother and quieter. Cleans all the dirt and crap that builds up in the window channels and you really notice it.
Thank Scotty, I did exactly what you said for my car window. I've had this car for a year and my back window wouldn't go down! Slammed the door once while holding main switch down and down it went! Lol. You are great!
Hi Scotty! 😎 So, so glad I found you! I am learning soooo much! Thank you for being you!
The silicon treatment works great to keep the windows from freezing closed in the winter. Also on the door gaskets. Spray on a towel or cloth and wipe the gasket. No more door frozen closed.
Thank you for all these easy to understand videos! I have learned more in one day than ive known my whole life!!!
1:27 Anyone else notice how WD-40 displaces moisture and the silicone is water resistant but the can is all rusted, hehe. Another great video Scotty. Thanks for all you do.
WD=Water Displacing. 😱👍
Thank you Scotty. I had a 2007 Chrysler 300 and now a 2005 300 that have both shown brake issues. I never thought or knew that I could flush the system. I'm gonna get that done tomorrow.
5:39 remember if you have beer in your car don't spill it!
🍺 😂
Scotty... Love all the info you give us. Has helped me sooooooooo much! God bless Scotty! 🤙✌
Your actually really awesome. Simplified, straight to the point, and clear
Hello Scotty, you mention doing this in another video and it works my windows go up and down much easier now... Thanks for the tip
Scotty you are a national treasure !!! thanks again for all your videos...the father many of us never had!
Thanks Scotty, good reminder ....a little routine maintenance makes for a happy vehicle.
Scotty your explanations are awesome! it is great to learn from you!! Cheers from Brazil!
I've been watching Scott for years. Good info . Solid advice
Good tip. Buying some this weekend.
I've only had to replace a broken manual window crank assembly once, but plenty of those electric power window regulators and switch assemblies = "pain in the butt"
What a snail..
Manual cranks are better, no doubt. People are sheep. They will buy anything.
😣Damn drivers side window is auto both ways BUT sometimes likes to go try to go down when I press it up.
I'm 57 and I haven't owned a vehicle with power windows yet, nor do I plan to.
Great general maintenance video. Things I never considered doing to my car
Thanks Scotty! Going to try this on my car and check the alternator because my driverside window will slowly go down or sometimes it'll stop and I have to push it down to help it
My 1992 Cevy Silverado is 30 years old looks and run great. I change the oil once a year because I don't put that many miles on it. And it don't leak a drop of oil...
Good advice Scotty! Any machine needs maintenance, there’s no such thing as maintenance-free car 🚗⚙️🔧
When did car makers stop putting transmission dips ticks in vehicles? What was their reasoning for doing this? I have learned so much from you, Scotty. Thank you
Amazing :) Thanks for sharing Scotty! A true legend!
Great Info and Video Scotty! Thanks for all your insight on car repairs! Keep up the great job! And please keep using your smiling/laughing animal memes!!
Ya know, it took me nearly two weeks to figure out Toyota's Auto-Up and Auto-Down in my 4Runner? Especially since my Camry only has Auto-Down. If you only push the button partway, you retain manual control. I probably should have read the owner's manual, but who reads the manual? LOL
Now that I figured it out, it's a feature I wonder how I lived without!
If your headlights flicker like a discotheque whenever you hit the button, then you're a proud owner of a Chrysler/Dodge minivan, and no, it's not your battery, alternator, or the windows.
If your car has two electric radiator fans, and only one works, your cooling system can probably handle that (except in extreme circumstances). You will, however, notice reduced A/C cooling ability because the fans also draw air through the condenser.
Battery corrosion can be easily cleaned up with a slurry of baking soda and vinegar. Sure, it foams up (it's the ingredients for a child's papier-mâché volcano, after all) but it neutralizes the acid and dissolves the fuzzy crystals in seconds.
The only time I've ever flushed brake fluid is after a line failure, I'm a bit OCD so every time I replace a line, I bleed the system at all four corners.
When I buy a car that hasn't been recently serviced, the first things I do are: oil change, tune up, throttle body cleaning, and throttle cable adjustment. You'd be amazed how many times I've bought a car the owner thought was either "a piece of crap" or "on its last leg" that just needed an afternoon of TLC.
"What's the lifetime of the transmission?" "Um, until the warranty runs out." Obviously not Toyota, I'm well-beyond the warranty in my Camry (at just shy of 339k miles) and never felt anything amiss in the transmission. As far as I can trace, it's only had a 100k service performed (by the dealer that sold the car to the original owner) when the fluid was changed.
Brilliant video! Bookmarked! Thank you Scotty!
Love you Scotty. Keepin it real n fixin stuff...Keep sharing stuff in your big brain with us. Thanks dude~
Another thing I would recommend with the tires is to check the dot date it's the last 4 numbers in the box or oval after the letters dot the main numbers to worry about are the last 2 that tell you the year the were manufactured if they're older than six years I would recommend replacing them if your tires are older than 10 years they start decomposing and at that point they're dangerous to drive on
Helpful thank you
I think Scotty has some hidden PhD in engineering.
Just like a true hot rod, Scotty's PhD is built from the ground up.
I love your videos. They have been constantly demystifying the many technical aspects of owning a car for me. Brilliantly explained, beautifully edited, immensely helpful and very easy to grasp. You are a wonderful, genius American.
Here is an interesting tip. I hosed off my radiator on a humid day in early September after a number of trips had accumulated bugs on my radiator. Only some of the sticky bugs washed off. An hour later I found yellow-jacket wasps swarming all over the radiator. They were picking it clean of bugs that the hose had gotten wet but not washed off. After a few hours the yellow-jackets had completed their work. The radiator was whistle clean! Talk about a complete job!
When's the last time you checked the power window lubricant?
2000 and never!
Same as turning light liquid!
Rightcious question dude. Well alright!
Top up your Headlight fluid while you're at it.
I change the fluid on my power window motors at least once a year. 😉
It would be awesome if it was possible to change from electrical windows to manual ones... That would be a killer DIY! =D
Thanks again Scotty! I do my own maintenance now thanks to your videos and this video was a perfect rundown of a ton of ways to maintain my vehicle.
You are a great person. So honest. God bless whoever gave you the DNA.
I love your teaching
Scotty. I like your tutorials. Do one on keeping intake manifold and intake valves clean on a direct injective engine.
May God continue to bless you Scotty, you’re the Man 🙏🏾
I have stumbled on to some of these over the years. Had an '86 Jetta that was running hot. Discovered the fan was not running. then found all the connections up there to be corroded. It was in the battery area, of course. Then the wiring was odd and came to the conclusion there had been undisclosed damage (and repair). Thanks for the tips!
