Preventing Wipers from Freezing and Cracking

In freezing temperatures it is not uncommon for wipers to become stuck to the frozen windshield, which then can easily lead to them ripping or cracking when trying to release them into use again. One solution is to shell out $20 on wiper protectors, but if you are on a budget or just like easy, money saving, DIY tricks, just use a couple of long socks instead. This will do the trick just like these blade covers can, just $20 cheaper.

If you didn’t get the memo yet about the previous trick – protecting the wipers from freezing and sticking to the windshield – and you’re at the stage when the wiper blade has already cracked, then this tip can help. All you need is a bit of pantyhose! Cut a part of the pantyhose and wrap it around the broken wiper as tightly as possible, which will prevent the wiper from scratching the windshield.
