If the snow stuck to the roof of the vehicle is not removed, an emergency may occur while driving. About this “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” said Yaroslav Kukarin, head of bodywork services in the Fit Service network.
“If the snow on the roof is loose, then the wind flow can blow it back onto cars moving behind the “drift”. It will fly directly onto the windshield of the car driving behind you. As a rule, this happens unexpectedly while driving, and therefore the situation can lead to an accident,” Kukarin noted.
Additionally, when braking or when the wind blows, layers of shifting snow may fall on your windshield, obstructing your vision.
In addition, snow that is not removed from the roof of the car during the thaw will begin to melt and flow into the body. Some of the moisture will penetrate under the rubber seal of the windshield or roof rails. This will lead to corrosion of body parts.
