Car expert “Behind the wheel” Mikhail Kolodochkin toldwhat to do if after black ice or hard frost the windshield wipers have turned into icicles.
You don’t have to think that the wiper motor is so strong that it will dislodge the fossilized wipers: they will not move. In addition, it can break if done incorrectly.
You need to manually revive the wipers, but do not tear them off the glass with your hands – this can damage the rubber band. First melt the ice with warm water or de-icer. In any case, do not use boiling water, because temperature changes can cause the glass to crack.
After releasing the windshield wipers, check for ice. Failure to do so may damage the rubber strap or scratch the glass.
