Use an old set of car floor mats to cover your car's windshield in the evening and you won't have any ice to scrape in the morning. Carpet remnants also work.

I just read the the tip by Betty about keeping frost and ice off your wind shields. I thought it was great. I live in Mo. moved here 3 yrs ago from La. I hate freezing to death trying to scrape my windshields. I will go to the $ store today and buy two flannel backed table cloths for my car. I leave for work at 1:30 to 3:00 in the morning who wants to scrape ice that early in the morning. Thanks again Betty.

I found and purchased a "cool" (no pun intended) product called a FrostShield. Just place it on your windshield at night and in the morning when you take it off you will not have to scrape frost off of the windshield. I found it on the net at frostshield.com.

Tip: Keeping Your Windshield Free of Snow

Archived on 10/02/2006

I found a great use for those old flannel lined plastic tablecloths (although and unlined one or used shower curtain would probably work). I live in the Northeast and we have had a lot of snow recently. I have been following some snow-shields for the car's windshield on Ebay (because I could not find any in the stores at all) and they have been really expensive.

I had several old, faded, plastic tablecloths that I had not thrown out (because I figured there must be a use for them). You just put it across your windshield, covering wiper blades so they don't freeze. Open one front door and put it inside the car; and then stretch it and do the same on the other side.

This has saved soooo much time trying to get the snow and ice off the windshields you wouldn't believe and the best part is it is FREE. I just shake off snow, fold the tablecloth and leave it in the car - replacing it on the windshield when I get home.
