walkin' in a winter wiper land

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

One other thing (wiper-wise):  when I park outdoors in the winter and snow is imminent, I always pull the wipers up off the window.  They never stick to the glass that way.

Also, you can put a towel on your windshield at night and just remove it the next morning and you'll be frost-free. Also, while you can scrape your windows with a CD without damage, the bottom rounded end of a soda can will scratch the shit out of your windshield.

Get a windsheild ice scraper, and get WINTER wipers yeah they do exists,
made from a diferent rubber, also use WINTER glass cleaner, contain product
to melt ice faster..... all those at your local autozone...

start your car, turn on heater to defrost, let the heat (which hit the wiper
are first btw melt onr loose the wiopers from the glass before using them...
while waitting scrape ice from windsheild with ice scraper...

BTW if your driving and your windsheild suddenly Freezes, turn the heat on
your car on DEFROST (grin) and let it run for 1 mins before turning your
wipers on. should do the trick...

welcome to the wonderfull worlf of ice-age ...AHAHAHAHA

... and people ask me why I live in texas instead of canada....hint: Ya dont
have to shovel heat.

=>Okay, so really more drivin' than walkin'.. but I could be stuck walkin'
=>if I can't see out of my windshield!
=>
=>...
=>
=>I put the antifreeze crap in my washer tank just now (and just in time;
=>the temp just dipped to 29 F from 32 F in the last half hour) and I
=>(stupidly) went to test out the jizzers without first chiseling the wiper
=>blades free from the windshield.
=>
=>The passenger side got loose but the driver side did not. I could just
=>*feel* the splines strip as I watched in horror only the passenger blade
=>go up and then back down again. Oops.
=>
=>So in this frigid weather I took the arm off, cleaned the aluminum dust
=>out of the grooves (although there were no grooves left on the wiper arm
=>half), put the arm back on and torqued the shat out of it. Then I realized
=>it wasn't positioned right, so I spent about 10 minutes pulling on it
=>trying to get it to come back off. Got it off and discovered that both
=>pieces had pretty looking splines now, cool! Positioned it right and
=>torqued it again. Problem solved.
=>
=>Now my fear is that this is going to happen again. What can I do to keep
=>my wiper blades from freezing to the windshield, uh, while I'm driving?
=>I guess I could coat the windshield with astronaut-grade sex lube or
=>something. But the neighbors might think I'm a little weird. Oh baby, oh
=>yeah, don't freeze up on meh!
=>
=>...
=>
=>I mean.. what if it's not snowing, but then it starts snowing so I turn my
=>wipers on, but they're frozen to the windshield? That would be bad.
=>
=>I suppose I should just get some of that spray-on deicing fluid.
=>
=>Duh?
