With winter in full swing, drivers are already having to make more time for defrosting their windshields in the morning. However, experts have urged drivers not to use the common trick of boiling a kettle and pouring hot water onto the windscreen to speed up the process, as this could end up cracking the glass.
But what if there’s a way to defrost your car faster without spending money on de-icing solution? A TikTok user named Sara Deutsch recently shared a brilliant advice that can make a real difference when it comes to defrosting your windscreen.
In her video, Sara explains that motorists should pull their sun visors into a downward position when defrosting the windscreen. With the visors in the downward position, the hot air will be blocked and create a faster defrost on the windshield.
Sara explains: ‘If you have a windshield that is frosted over – make sure to put your visors down, so it stops the airflow and it creates a faster defrost on your windshield. If you ever have a sheet of ice on your car or when it’s frosted – put the [sun visor] down. Otherwise, you can feel the air come straight up over it. If you put the [sun visor] down, it creates a block, so that it actually defrosts faster.’
So the next time you find yourself faced with a frosty windshield, try pulling your sun visors down. You might be pleasantly surprised with the results! Will you be trying this hack?
