Snow can be a beautiful thing, but when it falls on your car roof and turns into an ice dam, it can be really annoying.
This guide will show you how to remove snow from your car roof in order to prevent the ice dam from forming and damaging your vehicle! You'll need A shovel or a broom, towels (to clean the wet ceiling), a scraper, chamois cloths (to dry off any remaining water). And of course some patience. Let's get started!
What are the effects of snow on your car roof
Having snow on your car roof may seem like a cool idea at first, but it's really not! Snow and ice will accumulate on the highest point of your car-- the roof-- and stack up. As snow continues to collect, it will eventually pile up to a point where it's too heavy for the roof to hold. This can cause disastrous consequences for both you and your vehicle! The weight of the snow and ice can damage different parts of the car- for example, windows (causing them to crack) or doors (where you might get water inside).
If you do not clean the snow off your car roof before driving when you hit the breaks you may cover the windshield and lose all visibility!
How to remove snow from car roof
Using a snow brush wipe off the snow from the rearview mirrors located towards the top of your windshield.
Remove excess snow off your car roof using a shovel or broom and then scrape it off by hand.
Wipe down any remaining ice/snow using wet towels.
Use chamois cloths to dry off any remaining water. Don't completely dry the roof though, just moisten it up.
When you're done cleaning off your car roof, put the snow brush in your trunk and drape a couple of towels over your windshield wipers so that they don't freeze in place!
Clean off any remaining ice/slush using a scraper or chamois cloth.
That's it! You're ready to break the ice and drive safely with clear windows.
If you need to remove snow from your car roof before driving-open the trunk and shake out any loose snow that may still be on top of it--then use a broom to sweep off the remaining snow from the sides or back
