JAKARTA - Maintenance of vehicle components outside the engine, including car windows, is an important step to keep the vehicle condition optimal. Although it is often ignored, special attention to glass is needed to ensure optimal visibility, especially in the face of the rainy season in Indonesia.

During the rainy season, car windows become one of the crucial components in protecting the inside of the vehicle and ensuring the driver has a clear view. Rainfall can interfere with visibility, so maximum maintenance is needed.

According to Sapta Agung Nugraha, Head of Cilandak Auto2000 Workshop, cleaning the glass immediately after being exposed to rainwater is important to prevent mold growth. "Immediately clean the glass after it is exposed to rainwater so as not to cause mold. Avoid glass mold by cleaning it in all parts of the glass with certain ingredients," Sapta told VOI, Sunday, December 10.

Sapta also recommends the use of materials such as 'Rain Repellent' to protect glass. This material creates effects such as talas leaves, so that rainwater flows easily and visibility remains clear even though it is exposed to rainwater.

"You can use certain materials on the glass so that the water that hits the glass will fall like the talas leaf effect," added Sapta.

In addition, pay attention to the wiper's condition and the cleaning fluid to clean the windshield of the vehicle. Make sure the wiper is in good condition so that it can effectively sweep rainwater while driving.

Sapta emphasized the importance of checking the function of vehicle air conditioning. If the air conditioner is turned off, the windshield can be foggy, reducing driver visibility when it rains.

"Also pay attention to the function of the vehicle air conditioner, because if the air conditioner is turned off, the glass of the vehicle will become foggy when it rains and reduce visibility," concluded Sapta.
