Clever Windshield Tips To Survive Winter

It is only a matter of time before the winter season turns frightful. Each year I attempt to be as prepared as I can for all the unique driving challenges winter presents.  Here is a list of some handy windshield tips and tricks to help you survive winter 2016:

Fixing Foggy Windshields
To quickly clear fog without leaving a smudgy mess behind, keep a chalkboard eraser in your car. Alternatively, rolling down the window and letting some fresh air in will quickly defog windows.

Fog-PROOF Your Windshield
Put shaving cream on the inside of your windows and then wipe it off. Shaving cream has a lot of the same ingredients that commercial defoggers have, it leaves a layer on the window to keep the fog off. Also, the AC is one of the greatest defoggers. The compressor takes the humidity out of the air.

Socks As Windshield Wiper Covers
Those extra socks in your car can come in handy for your wiper blades. Use an extra pair to cover your windshield wipers at night to keep the snow and ice off of them. Raise the wipers off of the windshield and cover them up for easier de-icing in the morning.

Windshield Defroster
Whenever possible, make sure to park your car facing east. Since the sun rises in the east, it will naturally defrost your windshield in the morning so you won’t be stuck scraping ice all morning.

Easy DIY De-Icer
If parking east isn’t possible, mix three parts vinegar with one-part water and spray the mixture onto your windshield to prevent ice from forming.

I recently brought my car in to have the broken passenger window replaced. The guys at Frank’s were very professional and the prices were good compared to other places. I’d recommend to anyone. Thanks guys!

Couldn't ask for a better establishment! I been driving around with a cracked windshield for longer than I should have. Finally had am off day and dropped them off my car. I was running late to pick up the car and they were very accommodating. Some places would make you wait until next day. Reasonable straightforward prices. They have gained a customer for life.

Frank’s was great. They didn’t have my windshield in stock and had to order one, but they were ready for me the next day. The work was completed very quickly, and the staff were all friendly. The price was fair. Would go back again if necessary!

I am extremely happy with the service I received from Frank's Auto Glass Repair. The replacement took a few hours because of the business' excellent service that it is first come first served. I have nothing but good things to say about this business. I pray I do not need another one anytime soon but I will definitely refer family and friends for premier services!
