Well it's finally getting cold over here in the Bay Area (cold relative to what I'm used to) and when I came out this morning all of my windows were lightly frosted over, and the top of my car was pretty white. It doesn't snow or anything, but I don't have any way to get the stuff off. I went and got some water from inside (inside temperature water) and poured it on my windshield, but it took a couple of bottles to get enough ice off that I was able to drive to school. Anyway, after running the defroster I realized that it helped to melt the ice also, so tomorrow I'm going to start the car up and let it warm up the windows for a while to see if that helps the problem. Does anyone else have any other idea of what I can do? I can't stand the noise of the squeegee trying to scrape off the ice either, so that's a no. That's just one of those sounds that chills my bones (like biting into ice cream brrrr). Any help is appreciated guys! |

dude your question is just too funny, especially from someone who has lived in Toronto, and upsate new york.
The frost you have in the bay area is minimal, turn the defroster on, and and use winter windshied wiper fluid. Also, sometimes turning the AC switch on and running the defroster keeps the windshield from re-fogging. You don't need an ice-scraper, since the frost is pretty minimal, whatever you do, don't pour water on the car, its a bad idea, lucky for you you live in the bay area, if you do that somewhere where it stay below freezing, you just created a huge mess, with the potential to freeze any moving parts. |
