Icy Windshield

RE: Icy Windshield Post By Guest (Guest Post) (10/02/2008) I purchased 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, ice, or snow off of the windshield.When you are done with it shake it off roll it up and put it in your trunk. I found it on the internet at www.frostshield.com. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Icy Windshield Post by imaqt1962 (840) | (11/03/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Wow what a lot of great ideas. (loridawn)Do you have to re do this on a regular basis to keep the window from frosting up and if so how often? What is the salt to water ratio? Also like the idea of using the mats, cardboard or shower curtains. All idea I have never thought of.

In a book on salt solutions it says that if you live in a cold climate you know how common it is to wake up and not be able to see out your windows that have become covered with frost. says to remedy the situation , rub the inside of windows with a sponge dipped in a saltwater solution and let dry, says the windows will not frost up in subfreezing weather. would be worth a try i think!! also read this one time about locks freezing shut on car doors with freezing rain. said to use the super thin advertising magnets that you get, cut the magnet to fit the keyhole and pop on there when the weather is gonna be bad.

It helped her alot--I don't think she would have been able to scrape windows.

Here in Nebraska I have the same problem. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Icy Windshield Post by bear123 (1) | (10/29/2007) Contact Use an old shower curtain. It stops ice and snow. I have a Lincoln and it reaches over far enough for me to shut the ends in the car door. Go out in the morning and just tear it off. Works great!
