How to de-ice your windscreen
-
If you know it's going to be an icy night cover you windscreen with a plastic sheet.
-
Whatever you do don't use hot water because it can crack your windscreen. A plain old can of de-icer and a scraper does the best job.
-
If you know its going to be a cold night what works really well is to give your windscreen a wash of vinegar and water. This helps keep the ice from clinging but you would need to do it the evening before it freezes.
-
Get a pitcher of lukewarm water and splash it over the windshield. Don't do this if it is very far below freezing outside because it will only make it worse.
