Did you know that you can put socks on your windshield wipers during certain times? You probably don’t know why you need to use socks, but they’re really useful and will save you money!
Winter brings cold and frost and some car components are also affected by these cold temperatures. The windscreen wipers have the greatest consequences, elements exposed to frost and cold more than others. Finding them damaged is not uncommon and they are often attached to the windshield, so much so that to detach them, valid methods must be implemented in order not to damage them.
THE windshield wipers are essential for traveling when it rains and leaving the glass free, so as to have perfect visibility of the road, therefore they must be functional. What to do to preserve them for a long time even when it’s very cold? There is a method called socks that seems to be very effective and which allows you to protect your windshield wipers to perfection, let’s see how to put it into practice!
How to protect your windshield wipers
When the days are very cold and there is a lot of frost, the car wipers can have serious consequences. In fact, freezing can make them break and as soon as they touch they can crumble in your hands.
To prevent this from happening, effective methods can be used, such as for example detaching them from the car gently, to avoid breaking the rubber. In case still sticking you can use the cold air from the car to remove the frost from the glass and detach them from the windshield without damaging them.
Remember to use cold air as it dehumidifies and has a definite effect on the wipers, much better than hot air. Instead, let’s see below why put socks on car wipers.
What are the socks on the wipers for
An absolutely curious but also particularly innovative method to prevent the wipers from wearing out over time is to cover them with socks.
It is an unusual method, but it seems to be very effective, especially when it is very cold and the risk is to find the wipers frozen so much that they break.
Covering them with socks can ensure a longer life for them and keep them from breaking for a long time. Obviously, when they wear out you have to change them, to prevent damaging the glass, which would cost much more!
