Why Should You Lift Your Car's Windshield Wipers in Snowy Weather?

[VanLilliana]

The reasons for lifting your car's windshield wipers in snowy weather: 1. To protect the wipers—winter temperatures are low, and wipers can easily freeze. Many people instinctively turn on the wipers, which can lead to motor burnout. 2. To make it easier to clean the windshield—after snow, wipers often freeze to the windshield, requiring timely snow removal. Therefore, lifting the wipers in advance reduces the difficulty of snow removal. The correct snow removal method involves first clearing the snow from the windshield, then using the car's heater to defrost the windshield by setting the air conditioning to warm air and directing it toward the windshield. If the wipers are frozen, they will also thaw as the windshield warms up. Only after completely removing ice and snow from the windshield should you proceed with other operations.
