viceversa Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 here is a tip about removing ice from your windshield --- which constantly forms even with the defroster blowing on hightest setting: Do not use a kitchen knife to scrape it off, because it will scratch the windshield.

subiemech85 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 use de-icer washer solvent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 wisecracker answer first-----move further south. Seriously,it sounds like you've got something blocking the defroster vent.The air coming out is warm right?You may hear air blowing but the flap to shift it to defroster instead of lower or bi-level may be shut.THere's cheapy dash mounted defrosters that might help.Better than having to take the dash out.They go for like $20 if I remember right.Check the vacuum hoses all around for pressure.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viceversa Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 No, it is working right. The way I seat I look through the top part of the windsheld, where the blower does not seem to make it. It does defrost it in the middle. Which made me drive like an old man, bending my head down, looking through the opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaroonDuneDoom Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Originally posted by northguy Buy a good set of ski goggles and stick your head out of the window while driving. that's funny. i used tohave to dothe same type of thing with y wagn. i had no wiper mtor so i had to use a squeegee when it rained or snowed. let me tell ya, it's a sight to see when i come flying sideways around a corner with one arm flailing about the windshield. got some weird looks from people. i definitely recommend the goggles.

electryc_monk Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 use rain-X... I've been using it for welll over a decade and enjoy its easy removal of ice on the windshields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Rip out the glovebox and install a RV size woodstove in it's place. Chimney runs up the outside like a snorkle. Co-driver tends the fire. Sorry to be a wise-rump roast, but this concept actually crossed my mind last time I had a leaky heater core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTrain Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I second the Rain X.. I recently got back from a Montana-Michigan trip and it helped a great deal. The moisture just runs off the windshield and doesnt have a chance to ice up. Just make sure your windshield is PERFECTLY clean before applying, or you may get a few small scratches.

Guest Vickaroo Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Question....... Will the Rain X work on the inside also??? My bus freezes up when I have the kids on and the guys at the shop are backed up with buses down to get to my defroster.... Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Last time I was down at Wal-Mart, they had some stuff called Fog-X... supposed to work on the inside of the car, to keep the windows from fogging up **. It was sitting right next to the Rain-X, on the same end cap display. ** - Remind me to pick this stuff up in twenty or thirty years when I have teenagers...

MaroonDuneDoom Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 try spit. it works for goggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I put FogX on my inside windshield every now and then, seems to work pretty well for a few weeks. Just be careful not to put too much on or it makes the inside of the glass look funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
