Here's something to invent: Windshield washer that doesn't freeze, with
the vehicle just sitting in the driveway. I've lived here 25 years and
never had this problem until now. 3 weeks back, I had to drain the
entire
tank of whatever crap the mechanic put in it. Went & bought some other
crap, which worked for a day when the temp was in the high 20s. This
week,
frozen again. Two different brands! Next, the fancy pink stuff from
Armorall or whoever makes it.


I was just reading about this in another NG. Apparently ( I never
noticed
this ) there is a "summer" windshield washer fluid that looks just like
the winter stuff (same blue color) but is only good to 32 degrees.
Maybe
you got some of the wrong stuff.


Been there - done that.

I use the pink stuff now.


Rental car in New Jersey years ago. Turned on the windshield washers while
driving over an overpass. Solid sheet of ice on the windshield.
