Cold weather, shorter days, and rain are beginning to make themselves felt with the arrival of autumn. Although the end of summer is eagerly awaited by many, storms can become the enemy of drivers on their journeys, as visibility and grip deteriorate dramatically.
In today’s article, from Ralarsa — specialists not only in glass repair, but also in everything related to the automotive world — we explain which elements of your car you should take extra care of so that the typical rainfall of this season does not become a problem for you.
Front windshield
The front windshield is located directly in our field of vision when driving, so it must be in impeccable condition. Therefore, make sure it is free of breaks or cracks and does not require any type of glass repair. In addition, ideally it should always be as clean as possible to provide extra visibility in the event of any unforeseen circumstances on the road.
Windshield wiper blades
After the sun and heat of summer, it is necessary to check your vehicle’s wiper blades in case a wiper blade replacement is needed. This is because during the high summer temperatures, the rubber deteriorates much more easily and loses its effectiveness, causing the windshield to not be cleaned completely and not be in optimal condition to provide greater visibility, as we mentioned earlier.
So, before the rains and storms become heavier, you can visit your nearest Ralarsa glass workshop, where we can install your wiper blade replacement in just a few minutes, always with the highest quality.
Air conditioning
Although it may seem contradictory, air conditioning can be a great ally against storms and sudden temperature changes. These conditions can cause the glass to fog up due to water vapour, making it difficult to see the road clearly. On the Ralarsa glass workshop blog, you can find other very useful tips — in addition to using the air conditioning — that will help you remove fog from your windshield.
Vehicle lights
Making sure that headlight polishing is not 100% necessary and that the vehicle’s lighting system is in full working order is essential not only at all times of the year to see the road at night or in situations with low or no lighting, but also to ensure that during rain your vehicle can be easily seen by other drivers. For this reason, to help prevent accidents in stormy weather, check that all your car’s lights are functioning, including the fog lights, and that headlight polishing is not needed.
