Silicone sprays contain petroleum distillates which will over time degrade and virtually dissolve the rubber . Use dielectric grease instead. Apply it to a microfiber cloth and spread it onto the rubber surfaces.
@@Nellis202 one more tip, regardless of the season: make sure the SPARE TIRE psi is correct and inflated, usually it goes on 60 psi, don't find it out that it needs air if you had to put it on car while on the road. Drive safe ✌️
I have a huge problem with my wife's 07 Jetta. Battery drains constantly. When the car is off all night the dash panel and alert dash lights flicker. It clicks as it does that. I've replaced ECU and battery. Still an issue. Is there a way to disconnect the alarm system I believe that could be the issue?
Check the load on the battery with everything off then using the negative pole pull each fuse and testing the amperage load per fuse slot once you find the one pulling more then it should change the part or just pull the fuse…. A lot of the time it is either the gauge cluster ignition switch or alarm
Old comment but you could also see about installing a battery killswitch. I have one for anti-theft (can't hotwire with the battery completely off like that) but it also helps save the car from excessive battery drain when parked.

What is the best way to use the rust preventer?
You can also apply silicone spray on your car door seals. It helps you avoid door freezing in the winter

Under hood too, in case you will need to jump start the car, so hood won't freeze on the frame
@@otarsulava Excellent suggestion.
Brilliant !

Tampa Bay area of FL winter tip: allow your transmission to warm up for 40 seconds instead of 10 seconds before taking off.
I wish I had it like that here!
Make sure you keep all those extra items in the back of your trunk for max grip off the line!
Thanks for insightful winter preparation tips I find it helpful in terms of safe driving during this winter.
Great tips. I may add a reflective vest to use if you’re stranded.
That's a good idea as an additional safety precaution. I like it!
Makes me so happy seing you show a saab in the background
Sadly that is a rebadged Subaru and not a real SAAB 😢. It was a dumb idea that they went with.
Thank you for this video. I recently moved from GA to MN, so it's super appreciated.
Beautiful SAAB 9-2X! A better and quieter wrx
Thanks my man! Love this car
I dig that Saabaru STi
Thanks man! Love that car
This was very helpful. Thank you!
I don’t do any of these things. But I also live in Phoenix and it’s 105° today.
I have the same battery from when the car was made in 2008
tf batteries last about 3-6 years
@@dawidkenway5649 it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. Also owned an MR2

I have one question does the ECU in your miata have AC control?
It doesn't, at least how I've got it set up
Can you make a video on it a lot of people Would like it so they know how to do it?

Is that a Saab with and sti engine?
Pretty much! It's a 92X Aero, so basically a WRX in Saab clothing, with a bunch of aftermarket parts on this one.
I got that car too lel
