    That rubbing alcohol trick is a solid tip and can really help keep your washer fluid from freezing.

    For example, mixing about a cup of rubbing alcohol into your washer fluid tank can lower the freezing point.
    You might also try winter-grade washer fluids like Prestone De-Icer or Rain-X Anti-Freeze Washer Fluid, they’re made to work in freezing temps.

    I appreciate your posts and am not trying to argue with you just to win some argument. I'll stop with this post. I don't think I once suggested using max defrost and only mentioned the sun visors when I was dismissing that technique. You keep doing what you're your doing driver. It must be working. I hope you don't have hard feelings toward me. I have no hard feelings toward you.

    No hard feelings, it’s just the internet. I was probably grumpy and having a bed day. I need to not be online when I’m like that.

    I didn't think you were harsh with me. No apology necessary. I hope I wasn't rude to you. I tend to argue/discuss things as a form of recreation. So nobody arguing/discussing things with me is my enemy, we are just discussing something unless insults start flying. Have a great day. Thank you for contributing to the discussion.

    I guess nobody here has a heated windshield.
    If heat on the windshield is the ''problem'', why, as soon as you pull over does the windshield clear?
    The windshield gets hotter when stopped.
    Can't be wind chill cause that doesn't affect inanimate objects [satire]
