What to Do When There is Frost on the Car Window?
2 Answers
Solutions for frost on the car window: 1. If you find frost on the windshield, start the car first; 2. Warm up the car sufficiently to allow the engine coolant temperature to rise; 3. Once the engine coolant temperature has risen, turn on the heater and set it to blow upward toward the windshield mode, which can speed up the warming of the front windshield; 4. When the heater melts the frost on the outside of the glass, you can gently wipe the frost with a car cleaning cloth to accelerate the melting process; 5. After all the frost on the outside of the glass has melted, use the windshield wipers to clean the water stains on the glass surface.
As someone who often rushes to work, I find frost on car windows really troublesome. Before heading out in the morning, I start the engine in advance and turn on the heater to blow warm air at the windshield. After a few minutes, most of the frost melts. Meanwhile, I use a rigid frost scraper to carefully remove residual frost from inside the car, being gentle to avoid scratching the glass. If the frost feels too thick, I spray some commercial de-icer to speed up the process. Importantly, never pour hot water or use a blade to scrape, as extreme temperature differences can easily crack the glass. For prevention, I try to park in a garage or cover the windshield with a protector, especially in winter to avoid outdoor parking. This daily routine takes only 5 minutes, ensuring a safe, worry-free, and unhurried drive.
