People discovering sun visor hack can help defrost your car much faster

The weather is getting colder and with that comes the most frustrating of morning rituals - defrosting the car. Blasting the heaters on to the windscreen is the most tried and tested way of resolving the issue but it can often make you late for work or an appointment.

But one TikTok user has shared a hack to defrost your car much faster, The Mirror reports. Sara Deutsch explained changes to your sun visor can speed up the process.

Taking to the video-sharing website, she showed how pulling down the visors can make all the difference. To start, a driver should start by blasting hot air on to the window as normal, but make sure to put their visors down.

They should find that the defrosting process is far quicker after completing the simple tip.

Captioning the post, Sarah wrote: "Teen drivers need to know this! Frozen windshields are about to be a thing with all the cold and snow."

She explained: "So, I do this video every year. If you have a windshield that is frosted over - make sure to put your visors down, so it stops the airflow and it creates a faster defrost on your windshield.

"If you ever have a sheet of ice on your car or when it's frosted - put the [sun visor] down. Otherwise, you can feel the air come straight up over it.

"If you put the [sun visor] down, it creates a block, so that it actually defrosts faster."
