Now that the temperatures have dropped and the night is freezing again, the problem of defrosting the windshield arises again like every year. How to do it quickly and without damaging the car windows?
Generally, you equip yourself with a scraper, an old CD or credit cards, but in this way you would only ruin the vehicle irremediably. Another common mistake that should absolutely not be made is pouring lukewarm or boiling hot water directly onto the windshield because the sudden temperature change could cause the car windows to break, especially if they have already been chipped.
Directly from the most popular social platform of the moment, some simple and at the same time ingenious tricks are coming to the aid of motorists to eliminate ice from the windshield: by using objects that we all have at home, in fact, they manage to eliminate, in a few seconds and without wasting time, the annoying layer of ice that forms during the night on the car windshield without having to scrape or struggle to remove it.
Cover the windshield
@tristanwalton13’s video continues to record millions of views, for example, he shows how to solve the problem in just 5 seconds exactly, simply by covering the windshield the night before with cardboard:

Just remember to place it on your windshield the night before a snowstorm and remove it in the morning to get a completely clean surface.
But what to do if we forget to cover the car the night before?
Hot water bag
This is certainly the most shared trick on TikTok for defrosting the windshield since last winter. If, in fact, it is not recommended to pour it directly, it is possible, instead, to put the hot water in an airtight bag with a zip closure and use it on the ice on the windshield, rubbing it as if it were a sponge.
