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! |

Well I don't know how cold it gets in the bay area but in Minnesota its getting to be really cold. We had a snow fall just the other day. Every morning for the past coupleof weeks now my windows are frosted (kinda used to it so not a big deal). What I used when I was in a hurry was some gift cards I took from a department store because I work in one.
But normally before school I go out and start the car, turn on the heater and rear defrost, let it warm up for 5-10 minutes everyday before I go to school. So my advice is go out about 5 minutes early and warm your car up and the frost will "magically dissappear", ITS CRAZY! |
