As freezing temperatures move in overnight, a small habit can make the morning a lot easier for Benbrook drivers.
Before heading inside for the night, consider lifting your windshield wiper arms away from the glass. When freezing rain or sleet sets in, wipers left down can freeze solid to the windshield, adding time and frustration when you are trying to get on the road.
Raising the wipers prevents them from sticking and speeds up defrosting in the morning. It also helps prevent damage to the wiper blades, which can tear when pulled loose from ice.
For cars parked outside, this quick step can make a noticeable difference, especially if ice builds up overnight and time is tight the next day.
Sometimes winter prep isn’t about big changes; it’s just a few smart moves before the temperature drops.
