Its basically hot air that comes out the headrest or there about for the kind of poofs who buy convertibles.

FLOL!!!

 

[jesus]

What do you use to stick it down? so it doesnt blow away?

The doors...

 

[Liamm]

I use warm water on my windows and mine has a big chip in it. The thing with mine is that I still have to de-ice the inside cause there's a layer in there too! heater can't get rid of it so just scrape it.
Whenever I do put a sheet on the window it starts raining through the night so just ruins the window.

Got one of these myself, used it last night and for once it didn't frost over, just rained!

Tip for anyone, you can get these at Poundland, exactly the same thing, comes with suction pads to hold it in place, but i just wedged mine in the doors.

Warm water everytime.

Been doing it for years and never had a problem.

Bingo.

 

[Coby.]

Warm water and start the car when at home..... De-Icer when out and about.

 

[_Tom]

Do it on a car with a stone chip in the windscreen

Also.. seriously? A can of de-icer is like a quid

Warm water with every car i've had. Mines got a nice big chip in it at the moment. Warm water and guess what? No cracks...

 

[Chip-mk1]

Do bosses not have garages anymore?

 

[Turkish]

I sit in mine with the heated front and rear screens on.

Get asked this question countless numbers of times a day, does my head in!

Agreeing with above, de-icer doesn't seem to do much on overnight frost, or when the water on screen has frozen and formed a layer. I only use it for the front side windows and mirror glass. A good ice scraper is a key to success.

?

 

[Adamm.]

At a guess I would say £1 lol

 

[Jonnio]

Petrol in washer bottle with an ignition button. Sorted.

 

[Rubicon_]

Heated windscreen much easier.

 

[imprezaworks]

I forget who wrote that they use a scraper and it only takes a minute? Every scraper ive used has been a proper pain in the ass, boredom sets in very quick with me lol.

 

[Adamm.]

I used a scraper so far this year and it only took me a minute?

 

[imprezaworks]

Good for you lol

Depends how icey it gets I suppose!

 

[imprezaworks]

flol

 

[Hixle]

Scrapers are fine, I just choose not to use one as it'll take off my sealant.

 

[Adamm.]

Good for you lol

Must be a right tart if you can't scrape a little bit of ice off lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah thats the reason :clown:. Ive better things to do than stand there for ten mins in the cold fannying around scraping ice off the car.

 

[Adamm.]

I don't think much would clear that away tbh lol.

Maybe some hot lava?

 

[Adamm.]

10 minutes to scrape a windscreen? Takes me 2 mins max!!

I'll stick to my previous statement

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol whatever, warm water ftw, in small jugs though obviously. Being a tart water can get heavy

 

[Chip-mk1]

There is meant to be some really cold weather coming, if temps drop as low as they are saying they might (-20 or colder) then you might find the warm water re-freezing again fairly easy soon

 

[imprezaworks]

Theres allways one lol, might just stay in bed.

Calm down mate don't take It personally.

I'll probably end up using water too as apparently it will help de mist the inside which is the real pain in the ass I find.

 

[imprezaworks]

I was only giving banter back matey, thats the problem with computers and bloody phones, unless its my crap sense of humour lol.

Yeah the problem with any form of de-icer is even if it works initially, if the glass is still sub zero, it will freeze again, and like you say if you have moisture on the inside too it doesnt sort it at all, where as warming the screen up does.

 

[jesus]

Heated windscreen much easier.

Ah cheers for letting me know, I'll get one installed on the Trophy.

 

[Munson]

I've been pouring warm water on frozen windscreens for longer than most of you have been alive, and I've never cracked one. Stone chips or otherwise. It's an old wives tale perpetuated by pansies, and people who are stupid enough to have tried it with a freshly boiled kettle.

I roll automatic heated these days of course. Don't even have to press a button

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Automatic heated. Things just get better and better. First we've got heated steering wheels. Now auto heated. Crazy.

 

[Bobby.]

might just stay in bed.

That's like a boss.

 

[Budgie]

Next time I have s breaker on the driveway I'm going to empty a full boiling kettle onto a frozen screen. Just to see.

Using warm water, I've never had any issues
