Grr i hate this time of year (weather wise

)

Left the gf's nice and early wednesday morning last week. Got to my car, Every window had thick ice on and the windscreen even had ice on the inside!
This is becoming a pain in the ass!!! I seem to wake up to a lot of condensation on the inside, but i only had the ice once! any tips on how to stop??

cheers

Ice on the inside?! Wow...! Maybe you could put some kinda cover over your windsheild?

hellonpluto · 17th December 2007, 12:08

I'm lucky where i park behind our flats as its all fenced off...no ice on my windscreens

Ice on the inside is bad, had that once before on my old ibiza....scrapped it off to just drench the inside of the car!

I always have ice on the inside of mine now that it's completely stripped. Not really very easy to get around lol, just get up 15 minutes earlier and leave the car running with heat on the windscreen before you leave.

yeah geuss so, where i live the cars get iced really bad! and i did have a small problem a while ago with my sunroof... probs still letting a small bit of moisture in! there wasnt a lot of ice, but at the top near rear view mirror was a patch of it!

Deicer is 88p in asda... Just got back from there like.

Wayne · 17th December 2007, 13:04

just don't get de-icer on the bodywork

pike0 · 17th December 2007, 14:58

yeah i got meself a can from tescos

but yeah strictly outside window use only

I find de-icer kills wiper blades and any sort of rubber seals etc. I cover my windscreen with cardboard at night - makes life alot easier.

pike0 · 17th December 2007, 15:14

Since its been cold my wipers have been fucked, maybe because of the deicer??? so in the long term it has the potential to make the problem worse? lol
what a joke!

adamsax · 17th December 2007, 16:19

Don't use de-icer full stop.

Jus heat and scrape.

Clone · 17th December 2007, 17:36

Do you have any water/dampness in the car? that could cause condensation or something like that and then it freezes over.

You could get some silica pack's
you can buy bigone's that would help take out the moisture in your car..

RedB · 17th December 2007, 22:40

Leave a towel ovet the windscreen and that will stop the Ice

Started doing it on mine every night now and its great

pike0 · 18th December 2007, 09:33

hmm all great ideas guys! cheers for the help, i shall find an old towel and some silica packs lol

RedB · 18th December 2007, 13:51

when you spray de-icer on it melts the frozen bits on the screen, it's best to use a scraper
