Frozen windscreen

[No Ney Never]

What's your method for clearing it?

[dougcollins]

Get up 5 mins early and run the engine.

[conyoviejo]

Put a sheet over the night before.
Throw cold water on it
Use a defroster
P/ss on it.
Get the Mrs up early to breath on it.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Start the engine, heaters on and because I'm currently driving a Ford for the winter, press the demist front windscreen button.

Then I scrape the ice off the side windows whilst that and the rear window are defrosting.

Then have the neighbours report you for pollution ...

[tarkys_ears]

Boil the kettle. Really brim it. Soon as it's boiled, chuck the whole lot over in one quick motion!

You forgot step 3 'ring Auto Windscreens to come and replace cracked screen' when it goes pop

Oh no, it don't need replacing. It'll only happen again tomorrow!

[claptrappers_union]

Don’t bother phoning Auto Winscreens, the next day you’ll find you won’t need to defrost it. Problem solved

wtf is DOG mode?

Is that short for dogging? Does it spin the number plate James Bond style so no one can identify you?

[Burnley1989]

Set my car to defrost at 5:45am

Still have to do the mrs car anyway so it only saves me about 30 seconds

[Vintage Claret]

Fill a zip lock freezer bag with warm water and run it top to bottom side to side over the screen - job done.

Believe it or not, I had a Renault Megane from new for 6 years from 2001 and did exactly as suggested above throughout the life of the car and never had a single issue.

Me too.

[IanMcL]

Ha! Re Dog mode. Keeps the windows just open enough for ventilation, in hot weather and puts a notice on the screen, to let worried passers by know all is ok!

Camp mode (I use that) keeps the car at a reasonable temperature, overnight, when you you camp in the back.

Starts with a nice camp fire on the big screen, for that cosy feeling!

[claretblue]

Get the Mrs up early to breathe on it.

Thanks conyo…I’ll call her in the morning!

Brilliant.

[turbo5]

I have a VW T6 transporter with a separate heater thats operated by a phone app (Webasto) I just set it 30 minutes before I need the van. It runs off diesel and the leisure battery . Van is all defrosted and toasty when I go to work

[tarkys_ears]

Thanks conyo…I’ll call her in the morning!

I hope it don't wake me up!

[clarethomer]

Dog mode is there to stop allow you to leave your dog in the car.

Just pops up the message on the screen in the car

However, I think Tesla are missing out on some cracking ideas from here.

[bfcjg]

I just use de-icer..

[basil6345789]

Battery hairdryer

Move next door to Sir Alex Ferguson

[jos]

You can buy a screen protector to put on overnight, it takes 30 seconds, works a treat and saves running back and forth with hot water.

[barba]

electric fan heater on the back seat run by extension cable to house.

Defrosts all the windows and makes the car nice and warm

You sleep in your car Ian?

I know Tesla’s are expensive but selling your house is ridiculous!

[Firthy]

Washing up bowl of look warm water poured on windscreen. Works every time and no cracked screen

Wipers on intermittent as you do it. Jobs a good en.

[dsr]

Lukewarm water, not necessarily even warm enough for handwashing, does the job perfectly. With the side benefit that your windscreen doesn't steam up when you get in the car.

[Sheedyclaret]

Pre heat the car from the app on my phone

[karatekid]

Go to New York where I am and it’s a balmy 14 degrees.

This.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Spray de-icer on the windscreen at night when you park up, doesn't freeze up overnight

Life is tough NewClaret!

Turf Moor or a home - no contest!

I have spent a week in it, touring the Hebrides. Very cool! Duvet to level the back and air mattress that fits the back. Also used it recently, whilst looking at houses in Scotland, after a Burnley evening match. Arriving 4am makes accommodation difficult!

Great fun.

[Commy]

Buy a car with heated windscreen. Done in a minute.

Good innit

[Tribesmen]

Scrapper , hummmm worked this morning in -4

[MancunianClaret]

Another strike for luke warm water. Been doing it for years and never had a cracked screen. Imagine that comes from some muppet using a freshly boiled kettle on it!

[Jamesy]

You must have the BMW connected drive, same as me. It is good though

[Vegas Claret]

pour luke warm water over it, you'll be good to go in 1 minute, never failed me in 30 years

Given your location. How many times in that 30 !? Lol

[Herts Clarets]

Start the car remotely from the house and switch on the heated front screen and the heated seat. Defrosted in about 2 minutes and the driver's seat is starting to get warm.

[Vegas Claret]

seriously, luke warm (and i mean barely luke warm) works wonders, you don't need fancy sprays or scrapers

Camp Mode - Drops the fluffy dice from the hidden ceiling compartment, gets the temperature up to a point where you're comfortable in leather shorts and fires up the Best of Right Said Fred on the stereo.
