How to remove ice from screen

parking_question_chap

Just remove the windscreen, then it cant freeze.

Store safely and put back in the summer.

Make up a solution of 1 part alcohol, 2 parts water. Put in a glass. Add ice. Drink. Taking care not to wave glass cheerily at passing police car.

Joke or not, thanks to the OP, this has been a very entertaining thread.

Boil a kettle, pour it over the screen, job done.


< Yes, this IS a joke, but so is the OP >

I had a neighbour who used to do this, and while grumpily scraping away at my windscreen for 5-10 minutes as they appeared with their steaming kettle and drove away barely a minute after pouring its contents over their car, I always used to content myself with what would happen to their windscreen "one of those days".

I'm still waiting! Though I have since moved so maybe missed it :rotfl:

Tomato soup works a treat. Just pour it all over. Trust me you'll never go back to using de iced or a scraper again.

i used to use a kettle but would pour it really slowly rather than chuck it on - i was too mean to buy sprays and too lazy to scrape

Speaking as a menopausal woman, spending a few minutes in the lovely cold, fresh air while scraping my windscreen, is one of the highlights of my day!

This stuff works quite well:

Spray on when you leave your car at night. Takes less than a minute. In the morning, any ice that has tried to form on your windows just becomes slush. Turn key, wiper on and it washes the slush away in one quick wipe.

Much better solution thanks!
