Should You Put Your Windshield Wipers Up Before It Snows?

Yes, it’s a good idea to put your windshield wipers up before it snows. Here’s why:

Prevents Freezing: Snow and ice can cause wipers to freeze to the windshield. By lifting them, you prevent them from getting stuck or damaged when the snow accumulates.

Easier to Clear Snow: With the wipers lifted, you have easier access to clear snow or ice off the windshield and wiper blades, improving visibility.

Protects Wipers from Damage: If the wipers are left down during a snowstorm, the weight of snow or ice could damage the blades or even the wiper motor.

Avoids Strain on Wipers: Leaving wipers up minimizes the strain on the motor when the snow melts, ensuring the blades work efficiently when you need them.

Just remember to put the wipers back down when you’re ready to drive to avoid damage or obstruction
