Clearing your windscreen properly before departure is the only real issue that remains
The debate about whether to leave your windshield wipers up or down prior to a snow or ice storm never seems to come to a conclusion, with both schools of thought expressing numerous reasons to support their claims.to the life of the spring built into the wiper arm. It was my belief that the wiper arm spring would fatigue faster when being left in the stretched, or up position. To support my position, I performed my own experiment in TV show MythBusters fashion.
Wiper arms, blades and even the mechanical systems located underneath the front cowl covers have been modified and improved in just about every way. The manufacturer testing procedures are extensive, even in the coldest climates. Many newer cars also have heated wipers, and all have a refined defrost system that focuses more heat directly to the base of the windshield to thaw frozen blades faster.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter anymore. So, leave them up or leave them down. It’s really about personal choice. However if you ask me, leaving them up looks a bit goofy, but that’s just me.I was very interested in your article regarding heat control valves. On the good side as you say, they allow the motors to warm up much quicker than the old thermostat types. This in turn can cut down wear on a motor through running to cool.
