Christmas is coming, many areas are gradually entering into winter. In the early morning, we will rush out to work or send the kids to school, etc places. When we see snow on the windshield, the car can't be moved. We really feel anxious.
The first reaction of many people is to activate the winter wiper blades and swear the snow directly or melt the snow with hot water.
I want to tell you: Stop it!
These two behaviors are very deadly to the windshield or winter wiper blades.
The method of removing snow with hot water, anyone who knows a little knowledge of physics knows that it will not work. The shock of sudden cold and sudden heat can easily cause the winter wiper blade to be deformed and the windshield to shatter.
We can't use winter wiper blades to swear the snow directly, because there is still a layer of frost under the snow on the windshield. Not only that, in extremely cold weather, the snow melted by the glass water will freeze quickly, and the surface of these ice layers is all frozen. It is very hard and uneven. The wiper blade wipes repeatedly on it, which will cause irreparable damage to the wiper refill strip. Until the summer when the wiper blade is found to be unclean, we do not know that it was committed in the winter.
In addition, if the rubber refill strip is found to be frozen, please do not pull the wiper hard, or turn on the wiper blade, otherwise, the motor will be damaged in serious cases.
We can do it in these ways:
1. Start the car, turn on the hot air, blow the windshield, and remove the snow with a brush or dry towel. If ice builds up, the residue can be removed with tools such as snow shovels or plastic scrapers.
2. Wait until the snow is basically removed and the snow on the windshield has melted before using the wipers normally.
3. When using tools to remove snow and ice, try to move in the same direction to prevent the hard objects remaining on the windshield from swearing the glass.
Remember, please do not use the wiper blades to swear the snow directly!
