Currently we are experiencing "light freezing rain" and the sound of ice scrapers grinds through the neighbourhood.

A sheet that covers both the windshield and side front windows would help avoid the glass scratching and the accumulation of snow over the air intake. When that snow melts it can refreeze to obstruct doors opening.

Any suggestions for handy effective HHR windshield covers?

 

Palm trees in Florida and California work pretty good.

 

I use my remote scraper. Just hit remote start and give it ten min! I have never had the door freezing issue.

I did keep a car cover on to keep the freezing rain off. That was a mistake as we got a lot of freezing rain and I could not remove the cover till it melted. Well it sounded like a good idea at the time. LOL!.

 

Forget California, I've already had to use my Spider trax to get around this year.

 

Rub it in will ya!

 

Haven't found any kind of cover, but I always pull both the windshield wipers up so they do not touch the windshield. That keeps them from freezing to the window, which extends their life, also stops some of the accumulation that ends up on top of the blades.

 

We have had freezing rain today even under the Palm trees here in central Florida. I even got the ICE warning on the DIC when I was going to the shop at 8:30 this AM!

 

If moisture get under the cover, the cover sticks to the glass. A couple of good ideas have been mentioned here, pull the wipers up and remote start to heat the inside. Just leave the heater control on the defrost setting.

When I lived in the snow bely, I tried the cover and the winter winds would blow it off..
