In freezing temperatures, it may have happened to you: the car window is frozen on the inside - but why does it happen and what can you do?

The fact that the car window likes to freeze from the outside in winter is nothing new.

Every now and then it even freezes inside and then you ask yourself: Why is this actually happening?

And how do I get rid of the ice?

That is why the car window freezes from the inside

If the car window is covered by a layer of ice on the inside, it is usually because there is

too much moisture in the interior

.

This happens particularly quickly if you carry a lot of snow into the car.

Before getting in, make sure to pat your shoes properly and also to remove snow from your clothing.

If the

floor mats are extremely wet

, they should be removed from the car overnight and left to dry indoors.

Even completely soaked clothing should not be left on the front passenger seat while driving, but rather put in the trunk.

Frozen pane: what can I do?

In the case of old or poorly insulated models, ice can still form on the inside of the windscreen despite all the measures taken.

If you want to get rid of the layer with the ice scraper, you will quickly get problems due to the curvature of the glass.

It is better

to open all the doors

and

turn the fans towards the window

to defrost them.

Then wipe the glass dry with a cloth.

Attention

: Do not use de-icing spray in the interior as it contains toxic fumes.

Extreme heat sources such as hot air guns can also damage the pane, as this can cause cracks to form.
