What to do if the car window is frozen?

One of the most common problems in winter is frost on the glass. A thick layer of ice not only impairs visibility, but also takes up precious morning time. What to do if the car glass is covered with an icy crust? We will try to answer this question in this article. You can also make your car more practical and functional by using tuning accessories, which are available in our online store in a wide range.

How to quickly clear ice from glass?

• Ice scraper: The easiest and most affordable way. It is important to use a scraper made of high-quality plastic so as not to scratch the glass. The movements should be directed in one direction to avoid scratches.
• Special de-icing fluids: Car de-icers quickly melt ice. Spray the product on the glass and wait a few minutes, then remove the remaining ice with a scraper or cloth.
• Warm water (with caution): Do not pour boiling water on frozen glass! A sharp temperature drop can lead to cracks. It is better to use warm water, but not hot. After treating the glass, be sure to wipe it dry to avoid re-freezing.

What you can't do

• Use hot water: as already mentioned, boiling water can damage glass.
• Scratching the glass with metal objects: Knives, screwdrivers, and other sharp objects can leave deep scratches on the glass.
• Turn on the wipers when they are dry: the wipers can be damaged by ice or scratch the glass.

Tips from experienced drivers

• Some drivers recommend using a card or plastic ruler instead of a scraper.
• To prevent fogging of the glass, you can use special "anti-fog" products.

Frosted windows are an unpleasant but solvable problem. By following simple tips, you can quickly and safely clean your car windows and avoid unpleasant consequences.
