A popular YouTuber has revealed how he prepared his car to keep himself and other road users safe throughout the winter months.<\/p>\n

The user @FixThisHouse regularly posts videos to his YouTube channel showing viewers how they can make improvements to their home and car.<\/p>\n

In a popular video, the host of the channel showed motorists how a commonly found substance can help to prevent the vehicle’s doors from freezing shut at low temperatures.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cIt snowed a little bit last night, so let\u2019s see how the doors are. You can see the handles are stuck; the moisture has stuck together on the inside of the door. So, here\u2019s a useful and very helpful tip that I want to show you, and that\u2019s by using WD-40 silicone quick-drying spray.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow this spray is waterproof, protects rust and can be applied to multiple surfaces. I want you to use this on the weather stripping on your doors. Just spray a bit on a rag, apply it onto your weather stripping all the way around, and that\u2019s pretty much it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, @FixThisHouse sprayed some WD-40 onto a microfibre cloth and then applied a small amount of the liquid onto the rubber weather shields, found around the doors.<\/p>\n

Whilst motorists should be careful not to get any of the WD-40 onto interior plastics, the liquid prevents moisture from building up and freezing, meaning the doors will not get stuck during the cold climate.<\/p>\n

This trick can also be used to keep door locks from freezing, with drivers advised to apply a small amount into the lock using the thin nozzle that comes with the can.<\/p>\n

Later in the video, @FixThisHouse recommended that all drivers carry a rubber floor mat in their car, not only to help keep it clean but in case the vehicle gets stuck.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIf you ever get stuck in a ditch full of snow or anywhere, even on mud, a great tip to know is if you have floor mats on you, get one and place it underneath where your tyre is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe floor mats will help gain traction on top of the mat to help you out of the ditch. Now this is also a good technique, to carry a piece of plywood, so you can wedge it between your tyres, just in case you get stuck, this will act as traction.\u201d<\/p>\n
