Operating a car in winter involves a number of subtleties, which even an experienced driver is sometimes unaware of. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” talks about a way to prevent “janitors”
What happens most often to car wipers in winter, if we leave the car on the street for a long time and especially in the snow? The rubber parts of the “windshield wipers” are almost guaranteed to freeze to the glass. For this reason, before the trip, the car owner is forced to manually remove them from the “front” and remove ice from them.
To avoid such an unpleasant procedure, quite a few motorists, leaving the car under the open frosty sky for a long time, raise the belts of the “windshield wipers” almost vertically. This eliminates the contact of the rubber “blades” with the glass.
No contact – no freezing and the problem is solved? Yes, but this practice is actually very damaging to the belt itself. In this position, the spring that presses it against the glass stretches and weakens over time. As a result, the “wiper” adheres less well to the surface to be cleaned. For the same reason, even the brand new brush of the highest quality begins to “smear”. Nevertheless, it is quite easy to solve the freezing problem without violence against the device.
The fact is that in almost every modern passenger car, the so-called repair position of the wiper blades is provided, when they themselves stop at the highest point of their usual path of movement along the windshield. For obvious reasons, most motorists, devoted to the “secret”, call this situation “winter”. If you leave the “windshield wipers” in a similar position even in the morning after the strongest snowfall, it is possible to free them from frozen ice and snow, as they say, “without hands”.
We either turn on the electric heating of the “frontal” (if any), or simply, while warming up the car, we direct warm air to the windshield. Frozen brushes also thaw with it. The main question is how to get them to freeze at the top of the trajectory?
To do this, in no case should you guess the moment when the engine will turn off with the wiper on. It is enough to completely muffle the vehicle, and then move the lever responsible for operating the “windshield wipers” all the way down or up – for different models in different ways. We hold it in this state for a few seconds, and the wipers themselves “leave” to the repair position, that is, where we need to. And freeze there.
