A windshield maintenance assembly having a telescoping pole assembly that is selectively extendable and retractable. An upper end of the windshield maintenance assembly preferably includes a reversible snow brush and an ice scraper. The windshield maintenance assembly further includes a long strap that is attached at the top of the windshield maintenance assembly which allows a user to pull down or pull back on the upper end to increase operating forces. The windshield maintenance assembly beneficially enables a plurality of attachable heads, such as a squeegee, a broom, or a sponge, to be attached to the upper end to enable other maintenance functions.

1. A window maintenance device, comprising: an extendable and retractable telescoping pole assembly having a tubular first handle extension with an inner diameter and a plurality of handle extension apertures; said telescoping pole assembly further including a tubular second handle extension having an outer diameter that is slightly less than said inner diameter and which is partially located within said first handle extension, said second handle extension further having at least one detent pin on an exterior surface; wherein said at least one detent pin can engage with a selected handle extension aperture of said plurality of handle extension apertures to lock said second handle extension in position relative to said first handle extension;an elongated first attachment extension;a first pivoting member attached to a distal end of said second handle extension and to a proximal end of said first attachment extension, said first pivoting member configured such that said first attachment extension can pivot relative to said second handle extension, said first pivoting member further including a first locking mechanism to enable locking said first attachment extension at a desired angle relative to said second handle extension;an elongated second attachment extension having both an attachment feature at a distal end and a ring stop;a second pivoting member attached to a distal end of said first attachment extension and to a proximal end of said second attachment extension, said second pivoting member configured such that said second attachment extension can pivot relative to said first attachment extension, said second pivoting member further including a second locking mechanism to enable locking said second attachment extension at a desired angle relative to said first attachment extension; and,a torque member includes a ring at a distal end, said ring attached to said elongated second attachment extension;wherein said torque member has a handle at a proximal end. 2. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said ring is held in place by said ring stop. 3. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said handle is a loop. 4. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said first pivoting member pivots over a range of approximately one-hundred-and-eighty (180°) degrees. 5. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said first locking mechanism enables locking at approximately five (5°) degrees, twenty (20°) degrees, and thirty (30°) degrees. 6. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said detent pin is spring loaded. 7. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein a proximal exterior surface of said first handle extension comprises a slip-resistant grip. 8. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said first locking mechanism includes a handle extension fork, an attachment extension fork, and an axle which axially connects said handle extension fork and said attachment extension fork together. 9. The window maintenance device according to claim 8, wherein said handle extension fork includes a fork aperture that aligns with at least one position on said axle. 10. The window maintenance device according to claim 9, wherein said fork aperture has plurality of spaced fork protrusions that engage a plurality of axle protrusions. 11. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, wherein said attachment feature is a threaded shaft. 12. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, further including a head attachment connected to said attachment feature. 13. The window maintenance device according to claim 12, wherein said head attachment is a brush. 14. The window maintenance device according to claim 12, wherein said head attachment is an ice scraper. 15. The window maintenance device according to claim 12, wherein said head attachment is a squeegee. 16. The window maintenance device according to claim 1, further including a storage bag dimensioned to receive said telescoping pole assembly, said first attachment extension, said first pivoting member, said second attachment extension, said second pivoting member, and said torque member when said window maintenance device is collapsed.
