A cars expert has informed drivers on what to do if the automatic electric windows in their vehicle stop working.<\/p>\n
Royalty Auto Service, a garage in St. Mary\u2019s, Georgia, regularly posts short videos on TikTok advising viewers on how to repair small problems with their car.<\/p>\n
In one of their most popular videos, a mechanic at Royalty Auto Service explained how drivers can fix a window that will only go up or down if they hold the button.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cPut it all the way up, put it down and keep holding. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.<\/p>\n
\u201cPut it up, hold it. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And now we\u2019ve got an auto-down and we\u2019ve got an auto-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks!! Worked like a charm!!\u201d<\/p>\n Another joked: \u201cYo, I\u2019m sitting in a McDonalds drive-through and you just fixed my windows, thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/window-down-4944620.jpg?r=1693929633864\")
