Secrets for Getting Your Car Through the Winter (continued)
Purchase a good ice scraper. Working at an auto glass shop, I see the wounded windshields after every snow.
Improvising car owners have used spatulas, screwdrivers, chisels, and anything else they had around you to get
that troublesome ice off quickly.
Plan ahead and get your scraper before the first snow, while your favorite
auto parts store has them in stock. In a pinch, defrost the windshield on high for a few minutes and use the
edge of the credit card you have with the highest interest rate. With any luck you will get an unscratched ice
free windshield AND break that nasty credit card in half.
Ever tried to put your key in the car door lock but it wouldn't even go all the way in? Your lock has frozen.
Auto parts stores carry something called lock de-icer that costs less than a buck. I keep one wherever I park
my car. Insert the small tip into the keyhole and then squeeze in the liquid contents. The lubricant usually
breaks down the ice in the lock. Buy two. A good backup plan is leaving the door unlocked. The downside, of
course, is that the local bums might take up residence in the back of your car!
