Should Car Wipers Be Lifted Up When It Snows?
1 Answers
Car wipers need to be lifted up when it snows. The main reason is that wipers are made of rubber. In cold weather, the windshield can freeze, and if the wipers are not lifted, they may freeze to the glass, causing significant damage to the wipers. Additional Information: If the wipers are frozen, do not activate them. Forcing them to move when frozen can damage the wiper motor and tear the rubber surface of the wipers, rendering them ineffective. Also, avoid pouring hot water on them, as this can cause the windshield to crack due to sudden temperature changes and deform the wipers. Solution: Turn on the car's heater to blow warm air onto the windshield. After a few minutes, the wipers will thaw.
