Does it matter if the windshield washer fluid overflows?

It doesn't matter if the windshield washer fluid overflows. The washer fluid filler port is generally wide and open for easy filling. If needed, you can install a funnel on the port when filling. During the process of adding washer fluid, if it spills out, there's no need to worry. The washer fluid contains alcohol components which evaporate easily. Low-quality washer fluid: Most are made by mixing water and alcohol, which not only damages the gloss of the car paint and the hardness of rubber strips but may also cause color differences, swelling, or dissolution of rubber or other plastic parts in severe cases. If washer fluid is accidentally spilled outside during filling, it may flow near the air conditioning intake. The odor from the evaporating washer fluid can also enter the cabin through the car's air conditioning ventilation ducts. The gases emitted by low-quality washer fluid are harmful and can become an invisible killer to the owner's health. High-quality washer fluid: Premium washer fluid is made from deionized water and various environmentally friendly additives, featuring functions such as cleaning, antifreeze, antistatic, and anti-corrosion. Some better-quality washer fluids also have properties like rapid snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fog, playing a significant role in improving driving safety.
