      What's a dumb ole surfer dude supposed to do about an iced over windshield? no ice scraper. no hose(it'll probably break-the hose)
      Do I use cold or hot water?

      Don t use water. Use a credit card to scrape it. Hopefully its not too frozen for that. They probably dont sell windshield scrappers in FL

      In this state , scraping windshields is a daily thing..lol

      Sometimes just using the blue windshield washer fluid is enough to get all the ice off

      Let the car run for about 10 minutes or so, and make sure the front defrost is on. You probably rarely use that, lol! It will either mel it all or make it easier for you to scrape off.

      dude...warm up your car for 5mins before you go to leave...most cars, even down south, have a "defrost" setting...thats what this setting is for..."DEFORSTING" the ice off your window....good luck with it!! (a credit card does work...but i mean...you know...c'mon..."defrost"? it really is that easy)

      yeah. The defrost is something else.lol...I wasn't getting in that damn thing til it warmed up inside anyway. Hence the post. as the defroster was blowin.lol..it worked great!
      Believe it or don't. With a humidity always above 50%. 100% all summer, we exercise the defroster plenty.
      I was thinking about the (heat=rapid molecular expansion/motion=broken stuff) law.

      You can just use water. You live on the coast like me, it's not cold enough for it to refreeze. It got to 32 here last night. I just hosed it off and turned on the defrost.

      yeah. Once the sun comes up, the "hard-freeze" part is history on the coast.
      I remember my pops useing water on his '77 F-100 back in the day. The defroster these days even blows the side windows.
