Cardboard Windshield Cover For Bad Weather

RE: Cardboard Windshield Cover For Bad Weather Post By blind quilter (Guest Post) (02/20/2007) I just take a heavy black trash bag, cut it down one side, open one door, stick the end inside the car, wrap the bag across the windshield and over the wipers, then open the other door and tuck the other end in. This keeps the windshield clear, the wipers don't freeze to the glass, and I don't have a large piece of wet cardboard nor have I spent any money! And I keep a plastic bag in the car to fold my windshield cover up in after it has dried off, in the passenger side footwell, with the heater blowing warm air on it. I do the same, using my back doors, for my rear window. If the forecast is truly dreadful I also use twist ties to fasten plastic bags around my outside mirrors. I did this for two years, while I was in school, both at night at home and during the day in the school parking lot. I never had to worry about obscured windows.

(to the clear plastic section used for table cloths etc....) get a piece that will cover your windshield AND add about 30 inches... What you will do is open your car door... put in the end of the plastic... close the door ... take the remaining long end of the plastic... run it across the windshield and under the wipers... to the other side .. open the passenger door and insert the other end. Doing this keeps the plastic in place in high winds and your windshield free of ice and snow. When it comes time to drive you just have to open the doors ... shake off the snow and ice and roll it all up and put in a grocery bag.. ( I have made a little draw bag to put the rolled up plastic in out of scrap material ) ****BTW I gave as gifts to family, friends and co-workers at Holiday time. They loved them! :) **** Hope someone can use this info.
