Does the car have any impact without glass water?

There is no impact on the car without glass water, and there is no harm or damage to the car if it is not added in time. However, when cleaning dirt on the glass, dry wiping may produce a lot of noise. Furthermore, it may have a certain impact on the wiper blades because it is dry wiping without lubrication, and it also cannot clean thoroughly. The functions of glass water: 1. Anti-freezing performance, with the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol, it can significantly reduce the freezing point of the liquid, thus playing an anti-freezing role and quickly dissolving frost. 2. Anti-fog performance, a single-molecule protective layer will form on the glass surface, which can prevent the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear windshield and clear vision. 3. Anti-static performance, after cleaning with window cleaner, the substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass surface, providing anti-static performance. 4. Lubrication performance, the window cleaner contains ethylene glycol, which has high viscosity and can play a lubricating role, reducing the friction between the wiper and the glass and preventing scratches.
I once drove long-distance without windshield washer fluid, which significantly compromised safety. The windshield easily accumulated dust or stuck insects, impairing visibility—especially during heavy rain or nighttime driving. Blurred vision could lead to accidents. Worse, forcing the wipers to scrape dry would rapidly wear out the rubber blades, requiring premature replacement and extra costs. Prolonged dry wiping also makes grime harder to remove and risks scratching the glass, complicating repairs. I recommend keeping bottled washer fluid handy—it’s easy to refill (available at supermarkets) and a full tank lasts 1–2 months. Check levels during critical periods; don’t regret negligence after an incident. Safety first—this small detail matters. Build habits like peeking at the reservoir when refueling to ensure adequate fluid.
