The Struggle is Real If you are a driver not living in the northern parts of the counter, you’re probably very familiar with frozen windscreen and it’s due to the frozen windshield! And even when you’re not late somewhere – what a drag it is to scrape ice while your fingers want to fall off of cold, am I right?! But why it even get Frosted? The answer to this question is quite simple. If it rains or a snow during the night and the temperature goes below the freezing level, the water on the windscreen will turn into ice. Also, condensed water drops can also freeze, so it does not have to rain or snow for your windscreen to get frosted. The winter is coming you guys, and there are several different ways you can fight in regarding a frosted windscreen. How to Defrost Car Windscreen Use water, but not boiling water One of the most common ways of defrosting a Car Windscreen Replacement is with water. However, never EVER use boiling water because you can crack the glass, and at that point, frosted windscreen will be the least of the problem. What you should do is use lukewarm water, defrost the glass, and wipe away the residue with a dry cloth or a plastic ice scraper. This method is quite popular because it does the job within seconds and it is super cheap. An Ice Scraper? Another cheap but not so fast and effective method is defrosting the windscreen with an ice scraper. There is almost no driver who does not have one of these in their car. It is super convenient if you cannot use any other method. But, if you are already running late using an ice scraper can be quite annoying. Not to mention it requires a certain amount of physical strength and stamina, so if you are a woman of a particular age, this might not be your method of choice. Side not—never use metal scrapers, it will scratch the hell out of the glass. I have learned this the hard way. Use your credit card In the lack of plastic ice scraper, you can give your credit or debit card another purpose. However, if you are not a fan of doing it with an ice scraper, you are probably not going to feel thrilled about this method also. But, if it is currently the only option, then there is no room for complaining. Make sure to use the long edge of the credit card, because that way you will be able to clean the bigger surface and the card will be less bendy. Also, ladies, watch out for that nails because this one is a manicure killer. Whatever option you choose, make sure not to do what it is called “portholing”. It is the way of driving while only one small part of your windshield is cleaned from the frost. You can not only put your life at risk but lives of other people on the road as well. Also,if you do not want to damage the windscreen DO NO USE METAL SCRAPPERS AND HOT WATER. Instead, use a plastic ice scraper, lukewarm water, rubbing alcohol, or de-icer.
