Do You Need to Clear Snow from Your Car After a Snowfall? Precautions for Snow Removal: Do not immediately use the windshield wipers or try to scrape the snow off by hand. When your car is covered with snow and there is a significant amount of snow on the windshield, avoid using the wipers right away. Doing so can tear the rubber surface of the wipers, rendering them ineffective or even damaging them. On snowy days, it's best to avoid using the wipers altogether. Instead, lift the wipers to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Placing a layer of newspaper or a specialized snow cover on the front windshield can make snow removal easier. Start the Car Before Removing Snow: The correct approach is to start the car first, turn on the heater to blow warm air onto the front windshield, and then use a brush or a dry towel to remove the snow. If there is any ice, you can use an ice scraper or a plastic scraper to clear the remaining residue.
