If you cannot see out your windshield, it is not safe to drive. Always remove snow and ice from your car’s windshield, greatly increasing visibility and improving the safety of you and any passengers.

1.Taking Proactive Measures.Cover your windshield with a tarp, towel, or sheet, and weigh it down to prevent ice from building up. Only use this method in areas with light snowfall, as it can be a heavy blanket to remove when weighed down with snow.
•Soak the towel in a saltwater solution and lay it on your windshield overnight for even better protection. Dissolve a tablespoon of salt in one quart of water and immerse the towel in the solution. While it is still damp, position the towel onto your windshield and place your wipers over it to hold it securely.
•Your towel can be reused multiple times. Simply store it in a plastic bag after each use and add a small amount of water to keep it damp.

2.Spray either homemade or commercial ice-prevention spray on your windshield at night. You can buy professional products or mix three cups of vinegar with one cup of water for your own spray. Spray a light coat of a vinegar/water solution on your defrosted windows before bed to prevent ice the next morning.
•Be very careful not to apply heavy coatings of vinegar to your car, because it may eat into the windshield, creating miniature pockmarks in the glass. Applying vinegar to metal can also speed oxidation and result in rust or corrosion.

3.Pour some rubbing alcohol into your windshield washer reservoir. This will help the wiper lines from freezing up and not working.
•This trick will save you from having to go to the store to purchase proper windshield fluid. Remember, preventing and fighting ice build-up doesn’t have to be a costly endeavor.

4.Cover your car with a tarp whenever you aren’t driving. Make sure to tie it down with bungee cables or some other fastenings to prevent it from slipping or being blown off.
•Parking your car in the garage is best. By protecting your car from even being exposed to the elements, you significantly reduce the amount of labor required to remove ice after the fact

•Though this prevents most ice build-up, you may notice some light frost on your windshield. However, this minor ice accumulation should melt shortly using your car’s defrost function.

Tips
•Be patient! Most damage caused to vehicles in de-icing is because of simple impatience. Typically, a person does not scrape the windshield clear or wait until the defroster clears the window, then accidentally crack it as it heats.
•Do not pour hot water on the windshield. The quick temperature change will cause it to implode.

Warnings
•Don’t be impatient and drive off without having all snow and ice removed from your vehicle’s windshield and other windows–you are putting yourself and other drivers at risk.
•If you find yourself on the road and unprepared in the middle of an ice/sleet storm, stop at the nearest store. A good spray of the product on the windshield will melt accumulated ice. When the glass is clean, spray again for preventative coating.
