Glass
Visibility - is not only comfort, but also safety. Therefore, I need hardly say that the windshield wipers, air cooling and heating of glasses should be serviceable. Brushes, leaving on glass matte strips, throw out safely. But buying new, try to choose a brand - Bosch, ITE, Champion ... Inhabitants of northern regions can try brushes with heating, are connected to the onboard network - they are not so long ago appeared on the market. Another element of active safety - the side mirrors. In the winter they have to be cleaned on a daily basis by an ice crust or snow. This straying their initial installation that delivers additional efforts. If you have a spare $ 250, you can install mirrors with electric and electric drive, which will make communication with the car more pleasant. Now directly on the glass. Their survey is better to entrust a specialist, but also his personal control not hurt. After all, even a small stone chip on the windshield in the first frost of autumn, after the rain turned into a full fracture. Existing technologies of repair allow to eliminate similar defect without removing the glass. It is easier and cheaper than replacement glass - repair (removal of the crack) 10 cm will cost $ 50, and the new glass and its "insert" - at least $ 350. Another "winter" problem - misting. When a working ventilation system is rare, but ... the use of fluids helps defogger, for example, Anti-Fog or Never Fog, which needs to be applied on the glass once a week.
