      Yea but not on the window cause it all rolls off, it usually goes in the door handle and some times the door jambs and freezes them shut sometimes, but if your car was already out their all night then it's more than likely already got ice and water in their and is frozen shut

    Water will not only freeze again but might get into crevices and freeze then handle/lock etc, unless you are parking in a warm garage after this, avoid.
    Also get an ice scrape so you don't need to use any liquids.

    Calculate the time it takes to get the jug from cabinet run the water after getting the right temperature then walking it out not spilling it. By the time you've done that the de-icer would have time to work.
    Are you gonna keep some warm water in the car for when you come back from where you went and it's froze over again?

  • @baseder514
    @baseder514 22 дня назад

    Use salty water, or water with sugar in it. You can use that to first melt the ice, which you can then wipe off, and then rinse with normal water so it doesn't stick , and then wipe again.
    Or just go straight ahead with water of around 20 C, or around 80 degrees Fahrenheit I believe (no idea if that is accurate or not)

      @kaptainasskrak Год назад

      @kevinalexander2787 Your missing something. The temperature, that is the culprit of the problem.
      Some car and truck door have drains for this purpose, but don't assume they are there. Also if it's cold enough those drains get iced over and blocked preventing any water that does build up from pouring out.
      On top of which the cold will shrink the gasket material around your windows and key locks. Allowing water to get by them easier.
      And if you pour hot water of frozen glass then glass has a very good chance of shattering.
      So I stand with my conviction here that this is harmful to your vehicle. Especially older ones that have weathered window gaskets.
      I recommend a car cover to avoid this whole subject.
