Do You Flip Your Visor?

Imagine... it’s a cold winter morning, and you’re late for work. You stumble out to your car , you manage to get the snow and ice scraped off your roof, thaw out your door handles, and start your car up–only to find your windshield completely frosted over. So you have no choice but to dial your defrost up to maximum and wait . Would you believe us if we told you that by flipping your sun visors down, you can defrost your windshield faster. Yes, pulling your sun visors down is a great trick to defrost your windshield faster by trapping and directing hot air from the defroster vents directly onto the glass, preventing it from escaping into the cabin and creating a localized, super-heated zone that melts frost and ice more quickly. How it works Traps heat: When you lower the visors, they act as barriers, stopping the warm air from rising and flowing across the car's headliner and towards the back. Focuses airflow: The visors deflect the hot air downwards, creating a more concentrated flow against the windshield. Speeds up thawing: This trapped, focused heat melts ice and clears frost much faster than if the air were allowed to dissipate
