In what weather would you use cheap windshields?
Windshield wipers are most commonly used on cars when it is raining or hailing outside. The windshield wipers help push the water or ice away from the windshield so that the driver can see.
Does it matter if you have winter wipers on your car during the summer?
It does matter because the winter wipers are made for snow and ice, so in the summer they will be too harsh on your windshield.
Is there a universal model of windshield wipers that I could purchase that works well for both rain and snow?
According to one website, it is a good idea to check your windshield wipers at least every six months for normal wear. As for changing them due to weather patterns, if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow and ice, there are winter windshield wipers, also known as winter blades. These are more effective at removing snow and ice than normal all-purpose rain wipers.
Would tube socks put on the windshield wipers actually freeze to the windshield themselves?
I use to put cardboard on the glass under the wipers, leaving the wipers laying on the cardboard to hold it in place. Unless it is raining, the cardboard does not get soggy, and does not freeze to the windshield and the wipers do not freeze to the cardboard. I lived in PA for 38 years so I have dealt with ice and snow. Then I wised up and moved here to Arizona. 70 degrees today..................sorry to tell you! You could also put a sheet of plastic between the wipers and windshield. You have to start with a dry windshield and wipers so the plastic or cardboard does not freeze to either.
Why would the windshield wipers break on a 78 Chevy Nova?
It depends on where they broke and if they were subjected to undue stress from ice etc.
Why would windshield wipers stop working after ice storm and subzero temps?
Blown fuse would be my first guess.
Should you put your windshield wipers up during a snow storm?
Some people choose to do this to prevent the wipers from freezing to the car, and to make it easier to clean the windshield.I disagree 100% with these people. All this does it allow ice to collect all over the wipers, makeing them difficult to clean. The first thing I do when cleaning my car is to turn it on, full heat, with defroster on. I then clean the top/rest of my car. By the time I get to the windshield, the wiper area would be melted. I can then lift the wipers and clean the windshield, and my wiper blades do not have a spec of ice on them, so they wont streak all over the windshield. Try using your wipers after leaving them up, and the blades dont even touch the glass, ice does. Clean them off? You risk chipping the (rubber) blade, since its frozen and covered in ice.
Why does the windshield wipers go up and down a little in the off position?
They could be stuck, possibly from snow, ice, or other types of precipitation.
Windshield wipers are frozen to windshield on 2003 Chevrolet Venture how to free them?
1. Crank up your defrosters and let them heat the windshield. Gently wiggle them back and forth until they come loose. Do not turn on the wipers until they are free. Scrape windshield thoroughly after they are freed. 2. You can dump HOT water back and forth accross the wiper blades and wiggle them (but note you may be causing more ice problems later) 3. If you accidentally damaged your wiper blades, the 2003 Chevrolet Venture takes 24" replacement wiper blades on both sides front (and a 16" wiper blade on the rear).
Stuck windshield wipers?
the park tab is bent. it is a thick piece of metal that must be bent back slightly toward the wiper motor with a hammer or plyers. I assume this issue started when there was snow/ice on the windshield?
How do you fix your windshield wipers when they get stuck in an upright position?

I have replaced the windshield wiper motor and the switch and my wipers still don't work. how do i fix the windshield wipers on my 2001 Oldsmobile aurora?
I recently had a simliar problem on my 1998 Aurora. I switched out the motor and still no go....ummm. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I recall starting the wipers when it was covered in ice and that's when the problem started. Also check out the site below it's totally dedicated to Auroras http://aurorah.proboards47.com/index.cgi
