Working on a vehicle can be intimidating for non-mechanic types, but some tasks are very easy to do yourself.
By The Family Handyman
The following 13 handy hints will help you complete automotive maintenance and small fixes with ease.
11. Spray Silicone Lubricant on Wiper Blades
The Family Handyman
We’ve all experienced screeching windshield wiper blades while driving, especially folks that live regions with cold winter months.
When it’s not really raining or snowing, but water and gunk is kicked up from the road by the vehicles in front of you, the rubber blades don’t have much lubrication to keep them quiet.
To eliminate this noisy issue, first clean your windshield wiper blades with a bit of soap and water and then coat them with some spray silicone lubricant.
The silicone will keep the wiper blades running smoothly and quietly throughout the winter months.
You may need to reapply the silicone spray a few times, so add the step to your winterizing routine.

12. Hands-Free Light Hack
The Family Handyman
Turn a pair of pliers into a flashlight stand.
Place the handle of the flashlight in the jaws of the pliers.
Wrap a rubber band snugly around the handles of the pliers, keeping the jaws clamped onto the flashlight handle and creating sturdy legs for the now hands-free flashlight.
Adjust the angle that the light points to by moving the pliers along the flashlight handle until it illuminates the area you’re working in.
There you have it: an instant hands-free light.
When you’re done using it, disassemble the flashlight stand and stash it in your toolbox until next time.
