As the temperature starts to drop in many parts of the country, it's time to prepare for the cold weather. Frost and ice are becoming more common, and with them comes the hassle of dealing with frozen windows and doors. While no one enjoys the process, there are some effective ways to make de-icing your vehicle easier and safer.
One of the first things you'll need is a good ice scraper. Avoid cheap models that can easily break or crack under pressure. A durable plastic scraper will last longer and work more efficiently. Once you have the right tool, it's also a good idea to let your car run for a few minutes before you start scraping. This helps warm up the engine and activates the defroster, which can loosen the ice on your windshield and side windows.
After running the car, take the time to thoroughly scrape all the ice and snow off your windshield, roof, and mirrors. Don’t forget to clear the area around your car too—snow on the hood or trunk can shift while driving and cause visibility issues. In addition to scraping, make sure you have enough windshield washer fluid and consider using a water beading product like Rain-X. These products help prevent ice from forming and improve visibility by repelling water.
If your car door is frozen shut, don’t force it open. Instead, try applying a de-icer spray or rubbing alcohol to the lock and hinges. You can also use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently melt the ice. If you're really stuck, check out this helpful video for more tips on how to safely open a frozen door.
Winter driving can be challenging, but being prepared makes all the difference. From checking your wiper blades to keeping an emergency kit in your car, small steps can keep you safe on the road. For more winter tips, be sure to read our related posts below.

Air system check valves are available as single or double check valves.
Single check valves allow air to pass from a single source to its destination, but they won't let the air travel in the opposite direction.
Double check valves have two supply ports and one delivery port. The supply ports are connected to two different air sources, and the source with the higher air pressure sends air to the delivery port. Double check valves with a shuttle or disc should be installed horizontally.
