1.Remove a bumper sticker using a blow dryer.
The heat from the blow dryer will help loosen the adhesive so you can then use one of your plastic rewards cards from your wallet to get under it and peel it off without any damage to your car. This doesn’t just work for bumper stickers either, it can also come in handy for removing stickers from your windshield like old registration stickers, toll tags, parking permits, etc.
2.Use a sticky pad on your dashboard to keep your gadgets in one place
ticky mats are a great tool for keeping your gadgets in one place on your dashboard. No more phones flying around the car when going around corners! The sticky mat is also perfect if you’re unable to mount your gps to the windscreen.
There are hundreds of different types and brands but don’t be tempted by the highly priced items. You’ll find great quality and inexpensive sticky mats on eBay and Amazon.
3.For those who still find parking difficult
If you only recently got your driving license and driving your car is still new to you, here’s a great trick for parking your car in the garage. Hang up a tennis ball or a bright, colorful toy in the spot where you need to stop the car. This will help you to get a feel for the dimensions of your car and prevent you from going further in than you need to.
4.Wack Hack: Conditioning leather car seats using olive oil.
Many sites claim that this is a genius cleaning hack for your leather car seats, but DO NOT do it. While, at first, it may look like it makes them more nourished, in the long run, it actually speeds up the deterioration.
5.Replace broken fan belt with pantyhose
First lets start off by saying that if your fan belt is broken we recommend you call your nearest Repco Authorised Service centre to see if your car can be towed to their workshop. But if you’re in a situation where calling your nearest workshop is not an option (and willing to take the risk) then you can replace a broken fan belt with stockings for a temporary fix.
This may be more difficult in newer cars with numerous other components in the way but it has been done. See Tim Anderson’s article on Instructables for more details.
