Drivers Window Freeze Ups!

Featured Replies

hi

Has anyone got any tips on how to stop the drivers window freezing up or un-freezeing it quick , i need to open it after work a lot to get out of my carpark and its a pain if i cant open it?

thanks



I dont think there is a quicker way to defrost window than spray de-icer on it. Usualy 4-5 sprays and it melts quickly and you can open the window.

I normally use luke warm water if no de-icer, works well enough

I just used spray de-icer, that did the trick!

thanks everyone , i will just use de-icer then and direct the heater blowers towards the windows in future.

Last night after leaving my car in -5 for 6 hours my window was of course frozen, i find a card or scraper that is thin enough down the window seal on the outside usually does the trick but make sure there is no massive clumps in the corner which i nearly missed in the dark as that just will take a long time to defrost.
