I suggested silicone grease or silicone spray for this. Also great for you're patio door and patio screen door you don't get dirt and dust sticking to it.Ī: Candle wax probably works well, now that you mention it. Manufactured in Italy, outstanding wearability and low rotation speed ensure a long lifetime, belt-driven, oil-lubricated. It will work right into the zipper teeth, doesn't hold dust or dirt, wont weaken the stitching like some petrol base chemicals, and makes the zipper just glide along. So I can't say yes or no to, But I've always used paraffin or a candle stick. The info you gave on lubricating Jeep window zippers I've never used. I think this is the first time I've ever replied about an article in my life.
Q: In the May 2009 issue of PM a reader asked how to grease the zippers on a Jeep top. The fuse locations are mapped out in the owner's manual. I'm thinking it must be something in common with both windows being out at the same time.Ī: I think there's something in common with both windows too: Find the fuse. When I actuate the switch, I can't hear the window motor run. I'm lucky they got stuck when the windows were closed.
Just the other day the power windows for both driver and passenger side stop working. Q: I have a 1991 Nissan Hardbody pickup automatic.
If it did, the directions for changing it would probably be in the owner's manual. Q: I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX and I need to know how to change the cabin air filter.Ī: Your Honda doesn't have a cabin air filter. Maybe next time you should establish what you want him to do before he puts the car on a lift. Not important enough to make him rotate them again.
What is the correct rotation?Ī: Trust me, no Grand Caravan was ever delivered with bias-ply tires, so the diagram in the owner's manual recommendation to cross sides is what Dodge recommends.
When I confronted the mechanic about the rotation, he stated that the criscross applied to biased tires years back and that my van did not have biased tires. As I observed the tire rotation, I saw the mechanic rotate the front tires to rear and rear tires to front without the crisscross. Q: I went to an auto shop to have my tires rotated on my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and showed the mechanic the owners manual on how the tires should be rotated (front to back and back tires crisscrossed to the front). When you reassemble, thoroughly wirebrush the hub and wheel mating surfaces, and coat them lightly with anti-seize compound. Drive around the block, turning the wheel back and forth and stabbing the brakes. Put the nuts back on the stuck corner, but leave them two full turns loose. What should i do?Ī: Put the three other rims back on, and properly torque the lug nuts. I can't even remove the center cap of the fourth rim to take a look at the hub since you need to take off the rim before removing the center cap. A friend told me to hit the tire with a heavy piece of lumber or a sledge hammer to dislodge it. Q: I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a steel rim that will not come off even after all the nuts were removed.
