How to Deal with Frost on Car Windows in Winter Mornings?

Solutions for frost on car windows in winter mornings: 1. Start the engine and let the vehicle warm up for a while. Then, adjust the fan position to the front glass and turn on the fan. Set it to hot air mode, and the frost will melt automatically after blowing for a while; 2. Use a credit card, bank card, membership card, or any hard card to directly scrape off the frost. These items are much less hard than glass, allowing you to quickly and safely remove the frost without damaging the glass. Frost forms on car windows because the outside temperature is too low, causing the glass temperature to drop. Inside the car, a lot of water vapor attaches to the inner surface of the windshield, leading to frost formation. Based on this principle, after parking at night, don't rush to lock the car. First, open both doors to let the hot air inside the car escape. Generally, ventilating for about five minutes can reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, effectively preventing frost on the glass.
Every winter I have to deal with frost on my car windows, and from my driving experience, prevention is key. I usually park my car in a garage or under a carport at night to avoid frost. If that's not possible, I use a specialized car cover or an old cloth to cover the windshield. In the morning, when I remove the cloth, the frost is gone. If I unfortunately forget to take preventive measures, I immediately start the engine, turn on the heater and the rear window defroster, let the car warm up for a few minutes, and then wipe it clean with a soft cloth after the frost melts automatically. Never pour hot water directly on the glass, as it can easily crack and is very dangerous. I also maintain the wipers regularly to ensure they work properly, preventing frost from accumulating quickly and making the process smoother. Doing this long-term saves time and avoids morning chaos.
