Frozen windshield wiper fluid

Pour some methyl hydrate on it then, whatever melts it. Depends where the nozzles are mounted, mine are on the wiper arms themselves. Just tryin' to give the guy some options.

 

This happened to my personal vehicle. I added some new -28 degree purple washer fluid. A few hours later, I was able to squirt out most of the summer stuff and replace it with more of the cold weather stuff!

 

Let me be more specific. Adding that stuff and running your engine will help break it up. You can either remove it and dump it out, or try spraying fluid for a little while to lower the liquid level and add more of the good stuff. The stuff that doesn't freeze helps melt the regular wash fluid.

 

Prestone, walmart $3.00, works so good it will keep your wipers clean in a blizzard.

 

If the spray nozzles are on the wiper arms,just pull them off and put them in the truck to thaw out.
The washer fluid will just come out the hose...
You'll go thru alot of fluid,but will clear out the bad stuff quick..
You should also run a pin or paperclip thru the nozzles..Sometimes you get a crud build up.

 

I just swapped trucks...this one had been sitting in Fargo for a couple days (around -10). I topped it off with the -20 stuff, it didn't help.
After 2 days it finally works again.

 

To prevent it in the future...wallyworld rain x 2in 1
orange bottle. Mix in about 4-6 oz. of isopropyl
alcohol. Buy a small bottle in the pharmacy for a few bucks.
Buy the high concentrated bottle 91%

 

I got some best tips on this thread, thanks guys.

 

I use to buy this stuff at AutoZone and used it on them deep freeze trips. I'm sure other stores sell it, maybe even Walmart. It's good to -34 degrees. I never had a problem. The company reimbursed me too. Just put it on a separate receipt.
