Why do normies do this?I don't understand what this is supposed to help with.If your wipers become damaged because they stuck to your windshield, they need to be replaced long ago.Otherwise you're supposed to clean your wipers free of ice and snow each time. Having them stick up like this does nothing
>>28741724>Having them stick up like this does nothingKeeps them from freezing to your windshield, getting buried under snow, and stops them from getting covered in chunks of ice,
>>28741724OP, i know your stupid terminally ill online only mind thinks "popular = bad = normies" but this is one of those rare occasions where people have it right, even though they don't know how to check an oil dipstick, tire pressure, or change a tire. People don't even know how to boost now, but they do something like this, it makes you question things.
>>28741724kek fucking retard ricelet
>>28741724The reason it doesn't make sense to you is that your basic assumption that ice only damages old wipers is incorrect.
No, this is dumb and it makes no fucking sense.>Iced windshield Ok. So you're gonna need to clean your glass free from ice. What will holding the wipers up accomplish? If your glass gets ice over. What will hapen to your wipers sticking up?>Damager rubber Again. Only retards get in and wipe their glas without cleaning their wipers first. If your wipers are iced over to the glass. You need to clean both any. Raising them won't prevent ice building on the wipersSrsly what is the fucking point?
>>28741783>What will hapen to your wipers sticking up?Prevents you from having to break them free with the scraper, which is where the risk of damage comes from in the first place. >Raising them won't prevent ice building on the wipers>Srsly what is the fucking point?See above, once the windshield is cleared you can just slap the wipers on it to break off any ice build up on the wipers themselves. But now you've avoided having to risk prying them of a frozen windshield with a scraper.
>>28741783Imagine being this stupid. Imagine going through life with room temperature IQ.
>>28741787I've never damaged my wipers, and I've used an ice scraper while impacting the wipers over and over until they broke free. Then I raise them, flex them, and slap them down to loosen ice.You should get new wipers after winter anyway since ice and shit damages them the most.
>>28741749>>28741790>Calling other a retard while offering no counter argument.Fuck off shitposter
>>28741794>IESLBlearn english, monkey
>>28741791>and I've used an ice scraper while impacting the wipers over and over until they broke free.Sounds like you could have just saved some time and effort by leaving them up.
>>28741799No one here knows what that retard babble is, break it down Sambo.
>>28741800Zero effort saved honestly. The effort to clean the glass and wipers doesn't change
>>28741724Snowlet retard (and probably brown) it's to prevent them from freezing to your windshield. You can also sprinkle salt on them. Where i live is so cold and full of white people i have to salt my doors or they'll freeze shut.
>>28742073stop teaching the ai bots how to look at pictures
tldr OP is lower IQ than those normies
>>28741724my wipers tuck down under the top of the hood. if i don't do that, they get encased in a literal solid block of ice
Wow you're so weird and smart because you don't do what everyone else is doing
>>28741791>I've used an ice scraper while impacting the wipers over and over until they broke freeyou're an idiot wasting time fighting a problem of your own making
Just for your folks information ice on your car isn't just water, if there is anything scratchy in the ice then you'll be sanding your windshield.
>>28742150Well yeah, this is why God invented tobacco, so you can have a smoke while your car warms upThis isn't old-fashioned advice, as you pointed out, ice isn't just ice, let that defroster have a go at it
>OP
>>28741724lol poor OP
whereas most people's skulls are full of functioning brains, op's is a cavernous wasteland devoid of anything resembling an intellegent thought.
>>28741800>>28742131Logic clearly escapes this retard. >hurr I bash solely on the wipers repeatedly just to break them free>then still have to slap them on the windsheild to clear them off too>what do you mean I could've just been scraping the windshield instead?
All this shit positing and no one has yet to provide an actual use case. I've never raised my wipers.I've never had issues. I don't see the point
>>28743014
I don't live in a 3rd world nation where ice and snow are a problem
>>28743014>I've never had issues.>>28741791>I've used an ice scraper while impacting the wipers over and over until they broke free
>>28741724So what are you trying to say?
>>28741724I bet you only change your oil when the light comes on and only change tires when they blow out on the road.
>>28743039What country do you live in that's worth a shit that doesn't get snow?
>>28743071
>>28743089>cali>not third world>gets snow anywayJesus christ you're fucking retarded.
>>28743051>I've used an ice scraper while impacting the wipers over and over until they broke freeThis is not an issue. The wipers can take it. Normally I just rip them up.This never cause damage
>>28743134now imagine if you didn't have to do any of that you fucking troglodyte
Northernfags are so fucking stupid. Like just put a blanket or tarp over the windshield so the ice builds up on that instead.
>>28743212This or just blast it with the electric leaf blower and then hop in the whip
>>28741724You're either an actual bus rider or you live somewhere that shuts down from a quarter inch of snow.
>>28741724Makes it much easier to scrape the window if the wipers are not stuck to them. Not everyone has a modern rig with electric defrost. Takes quite a few minutes for the rig to warm up enough to loosen the ice while I scrape the ice off the windows that offer no defrost.
>>28743212just pour hot water on it to melt the ice
>>28743212I do this and it works flawlessly. I just use a towel though.>>28743684I'll never get why retards think you need hot water to melt ice.
>>28743701>I'll never get why retards think you need hot water to melt ice.Because it works super good and you should definitely do it if your windshield ices over.
>>28741724
>>28743014Hey, I never raise my wipers either, and I don't even use a scraper. I literally just plan all of my commutes in winter to take half an hour longer>because normies suck at driving and the average roadspeed goes down by 5mph anywayI run remote coolant heater, though, so I'm stattig the car while my cabin is already toasty. I let the engine run for a minute and blast the windshield with hot air from below, I can literally slide ice sheets off of it with my bare hands
>>28743752>I run remote coolant heaterThis sounds awesome, how do I put one on my car?
>>28743212>tarp blows away
>>28743170imaging not leaving your wipers up like a retard in a light dusting of snow.>i had to leave my car overnight>wipers were frozen to the glass>lifted wipers, flexed them to get rid of the ice>used ice scrapper on the windshield, starting on the acuminated ice mound where the wipers restedliterally no fucking issues. wipers lifted with easedidnt have them sticking up like a normieno damage to the rubberthoroughly cleaned the glass from ice before wipingthese wipers are on their 3rd winter, zero streaks or squeals.I do not see a reason to raise my wipers in any condition.
>>28743981imagine not parking in a garage
>>28743986I have a garage. I have two garages.But unlike you faggots I use my car outside a 10 mile radius and sometimes I have to leave it in the open.
>>28743701It's a troll to thermal shock your window into shattering. >>28743914They have tabs to lock into the doorframe so they don't blow away.
>>28743684Do NOT put HOT water on a frozen windshield. Pour room temp or slightly chilled water, otherwise the rapid thermal expansion will crack your glass terribly.I leave my windshield wipers up so the rubber doesn't deteriorate as bad as being Ice-welded to the glass and it makes pouring my room temperature water quicker because I go to work unlike most ITT
>>28741724It saves a step when you clean the windshield.>raise wipers>clear windshield>drop wipersvs>clear windshield>drop wipers
> Be me, 5 years ago> Never raise up windshield wipers> Need to de ice my wipers every time there's a slight snowing> Need to use scraper to even lift wipers> Need to replace wipers every year> Be me, today.> Bought car new in 2023> Car does not have heated wipers. Still park outside in the winter> Have raised wipers since getting the car> Never had to de ice my wipers, ice just doesn't accumulate on it> Still on the same set of wipers the car came withIf nothing else, it makes clearing the ice off the windshield easier and faster.
>>28743907You, uh... can't.At least, working yourself on the versions which tap the car's fuel is straight up illegal - but then again, working on your own brakes by yourself is also technically illegal, and I still do it.Anyway, I don't trust myself to mess around with that, so I had a pro install a plug-type, and I asked him to route the wiring into the trunk. I took it on from then and put a 12V lead battery-sized, big fat lithium battery and an inverter in the trunk.>why not run it from a plug, tho?If I could park my car next to a 230V plug, I wouldn't need to defrost it to begin with.A buddy of mine went mental on babying his oldtimer Merc and would preheat his engine in the garage, then he was backing out once and forgot to unplug, dislodged his grille and tore off the socket right off the wall.If I don't get the pre-heater battery charged up during driving, I can always pull it from the trunk and charge it at home>although there is always the lithium kaboom risk involvedAll in all, I'm surprised this isn't offered as a standard option
>>28741791Holy fuck you're supposed to put them up so they're not buried under a foot of snow and ice because your warm glass from parking will melt the initial snow to your windshield and then refreeze. So retard, you scrape while preheating the car then slap your nice clean not fucked wipers on the clean glass niggaT. Canadanon who buys wipers like 3 times a decade.
>>28744307I've been thinking about throwing one of those fat battery banks in my car anyway, guess I have another reason to want one.Looks like there's a lot of options for plug in heaters, do you know what you have?
>>28741724For reasons beyond your mortal comprehension.
>>28744307>You, uh... can't.it's called a block heater you retard. and you can install one on any car, It installs into one of the freeze plug holes.
I sit in my car for 15 minutes untill everythings thawed.
I do this and put a frostguard over my windowFUCK scraping ice.
