How to remove ice from screen

Options
Hello!
I have a tiny spatula like 3-4cm wide and I am expected to remove the ice from my huge screen with that!
Is there any faster way?
Thanks!

    Fail.

    I cannot have access to lukewarm water always and I cannot put always a screen cover, it's huge waste of time.

    Buy a Ford. They apparently have heated front windscreens, as my husband is so fond of telling me while I'm scraping my own (Hyundai) windscreen at 7am.

    De-icer spray is around £2 in most supermarkets?

    A bigger scraper?

    Auto Glym de-icer seems quicker than some of the cheaper ones.

    Always make sure your wipers are unstuck before you try to use them or you could tear them / ruin the edges which'll give you streaks.

    ^^ No, you spray the de-icer on, leave it for a few minutes, then use your hand scraper to remove the ice. It helps by unsticking ice from the screen so you haven't got to stand there leaning on the scraper.

    I go to the car 10 mins. before we leave and put an old fan heater running in it, car defrosts and is warm when we go.
    The car is on our drive so easy to do.

    Check if the Ford model was one first, my old did but current does not.

    In The Olden Days, the wipers used to sit high up on the screen, so the heater vents could defrost them.

    Nowadays they sit in the permafrost below the outlets, but they won't work anyway because the mechanism is jammed solid by the slightly melted snow that filled the space where they park, and then froze solid overnight.

    Progress eh?
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
