Experts are raising questions about winter windshield wiper blades and their effectiveness compared to conventional options. Problems associated with winter use of brushes, such as freezing, icing and hardening at low temperatures, raise the question of the need for specialized winter models. In general, two types of brushes are considered – framed and frameless, with an emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of each in winter conditions. Particular attention is paid to the so-called winter brushes with a protective casing designed to prevent icing and snow accumulation. However, it is emphasized that despite advertising promises, winter brushes are not without drawbacks. The ice guard does not guarantee complete frost protection, and the risk of damage when attempting to remove ice by hand creates additional problems.
