Legit question (that’s not about me as I have a small and short car)- what to people do when they have large tall cars when the person cannot actually reach the snow on top?

Not an excuse. Sorry not sorry short kings and queens of NJ. If you can’t reach the roof of your car, buy an extended brush, step-stool, or sell your SUV/pickup truck. If you want a SUV or pickup truck you have a responsibility to clean it. End of story.

They also have a responsibility to be able to competently park and drive their oversized F950 - - but that doesn't really seem to be of much concern to these drivers. They are way too busy over compensating to be concerned with stuff like the proper operation of a motor vehicle.

I’m short. It’s not hard lol. I’d recommend extended brushes regardless of height cuz why not make your job easier?

I can’t reach the roof of my Honda Civic lol, let alone an SUV. I do have a brush that reaches because I’m not a jerk.

Open a door, step in facing the open door, stand in the car.

I’m 5’1” I have a Nissan pathfinder. I open the doors and stand inside the doorway of car to brush it off. It’s a bitch but I get it done. I take 2 highways to work and I don’t want ice flying off my roof going thru someone’s windshield.

Another thing you can do before it freezes is to move the car a couple of feet back and forth while braking hard. The force should knock a good chunk of it off before you get on the road. Also use a push broom from the back and push forward. My car is annoying because I'm rather short, and there are these goddamned roof-rails on my car that prevent me from pushing off the sides.

Thanks.

As I mentioned my car is easy, but my dad has a suburban and I have no idea how I would remove frozen heavy deep snow from the top of that without a ladder.

My car is small but I still love the Snow Joe for pushing the snow off my car. So much faster than using just those small brushes especially when there's several inches of snow on top.

I’ve never heard of this. I will have to look into it
