With the onset of winter, motorists do not rarely arise situations when the door locks freeze, as a result of which it becomes impossible to get into the car's salon. Moreover, not only locks, and the water in the washer, glass, and even the mirrors can freeze in frosts. Familiar? Then this article is for you.

Frozen car locks, how to open a frozen door?

Depending on the air temperature on the street and, consequently, the degree of freezing of automotive locks, there are a number of effective methods to open the door in the car. By the way, it is worth saying that the central lock may not be opened in the frost not only because it is frozen, but because of the seed rechargeable battery. And most often in severe frosts there may be both causes.

So, with a small frost (up to -3 degrees Celsius), you can try to open a frozen castle, bent into the palm tube, putting it to the door lock, and rising on it. If it did not help, heat the key over the lighter and, inserting it into the castle, try to chat carefully.

If the frost is medium (up to -10 degrees), type hot water into the bottle and take it a lock. Most likely, he will then appear, but the car will surely need to dry or process the insides and larvae of the castle by the volute-test composition, otherwise the water in the castle will freeze again.

With severe frosts (up to -30 degrees), it is necessary to pour medical alcohol into the frozen castle, since pure alcohol dissolves well, actively highlighting the heat at the same time. It is not by chance that winter washing fluids are manufactured on an alcohol basis. However, it is not necessary to pour into the locks of non-freezing, since the isopropyl alcohol is quite aggressive. In addition, in automotive liquids, alcohol is diluted with water.

To open the locks, you can also use a key chain-defrostor or a special aerosol "Liquid key". It is worth noting that when opening the lock it is not necessary to turn the key to power. Also, do not use pliers or other aids for this, since you will rather break the key with their help, rather than open the door.

In addition, it is not necessary to fill in a liquid in the lock on a kerosene basis, with which unscrew the nuts, as they absorb moisture. However, if you still used them, it is necessary to process the locks with voltage lubricant after that.

If the castle declined, but the car door refuses to open, then it approaches. In this case, you do not need to pull the door on yourself, on the contrary, push it away, so as not to tear off the seal and handles. When pressed on the door of the car, the rubber of the seal is deformed, and the ice will crumble and no longer blocks the input.

Freezing the windows of the car, what to do, what to treat glass so that they do not freeze?

Low air temperature overboard vehicle in combination with its high humidity in the cabin car first entails fogging glass, and then their freezing. By the way, the glasses themselves affect the freezing process of glasses, or rather, the material from which they are made. Conventional glass from Stalinite, which differ in high thermal conductivity, is installed on serial cars, which are more and faster on themselves moisture.

There are still athermal glasses. They, on the contrary, have low thermal conductivity, and, therefore, low temperatures overboard do not lead to so intense moisture condensation.

An increase in humidity in the cabin also depends on the drivers. There are a number of methods that allow you to reduce the humidity of the air in the car in the winter:

• When moving in cold or rainy weather in the default salon, forced air circulation should be carried out. In winter, naturally, warm, and in rain conditions - warm or cool - it already depends on your preferences. It is necessary that blowing went to the side and windshield.
• During the landing in the car, try on clothes and legs to bring minimum snow to the salon.
• In winter, it is recommended to use textile mats, because they absorb moisture, and not collect it as rubber.
• If you have climate control, the problem of freezing the glasses will be solved automatically.
• From morning after starting a car, let the salon warm up, with the help of a scraper, remove the snow from the glass outside or frost, which arose for a frosty night.

Nowadays, there are plenty of different liquids against the freezing of glass type antisapitor or an anti-icer. However, any such means is a short-term phenomenon. If we apply such liquids according to the rules, they end up very quickly.

And according to the rules, the liquid from the freezing of glasses must be applied in two stages, after careful glass washing. It operates for 2-3 days. Well, now count how much fluid you need for the winter.

Consequently, a reasonable question arises: what and how to treat glass from freezing during winter parking? There are a number of ways that make it possible to prevent freezing the glasses:

• In a few minutes (5-7), before arriving at the parking lot, turn off the stove in the cabin and enjoy the window.
• When you stop, open the cabin door for several minutes to compare the air temperatures: outside and inside.
• In the parking lot you can use a folk way: pour salt into the fabric and wipe the glass from the inside. Or with a pulverizer spray a mixture of water and vinegar on the glasses (not essence) 3: 1. It gives windows the opportunity to not freeze from the inside of the car.

Frozen water in the wiper washer, what to do?

If the water in the washer tank frozen, the tank is needed to defrost.

The algorithm of action here is very simple:

1. Spindle ice.
2. Paste water.
3. Fill the "non-freeze".

If the washer tank is incomplete and there is a free volume in it, pour in it about one liter of hot water, but not boiling, because it is able to damage the washing system. Instead of water, the diluted concentrate "non-freezers" is also suitable - it is also necessary to heat it. Instead of "non-freezers" or water, it is also permissible to use vodka or alcohol. But it will take some time a century to explain the causes of the alcohol smell in the car in the traffic police inspector.

If the washer tank is completely filled with ice, the best solution in this case is for some time put the car into a warm place: heated garage, free underground parking lots of large shopping centers and so on.

As an alternative - drill a hole in ice, where we gradually pour hot water, alcohol or "non-freezing". Then pumped out the outflowing alone while the ice does not completely melt. To pump the outflowing water, you will help you a mug of esmark with a subtle rubber hose. It can be bought in a pharmacy.

But the owners of car VAZ can remove the tank, disconnecting the tube and wires, after which it is easy to defrost it in a warm room. Car owners of other brands are recommended to first explore the manual.

Freezing car mirrors. How to treat mirrors so that they do not freeze?

If the side mirrors were covered with ice, the road overview is limited, which is definitely very dangerous and can lead to a serious accident. It is incomprehensible to those drivers whose cars are equipped with a heated mirrors. What to hide, with such a heated nor frost or snow, no rain with mirrors is not terrible. Therefore, first of all, I would like to advise you to install the mirror heating mechanism on your car. In addition, the cost of this service is not very high, but the benefits of it is essential.

But for car owners without heating, the mirrors also have a solution. Fortunately, in the yard of the 21st century - auto-chemistry manufacturers produce special glass defrosts - it is enough to pour an explosive mirror from the bottle-sprinkler, and it hips off in a matter of minutes. The only disadvantage of this miracle is a specific smell, however, you will agree, you can suffer a little to achieve the goal.

By the way, instead of a branded defrost, you can use ordinary alcohol - just pour it into the spray. However, before applying alcohol on the mirror, it must be pre-cleaned from the land. Alternatively, you can simply systematically wipe the mirrors with alcohol - the effect is the same. Also instead of alcohol, you can use acetic essence.
