Frozen windscreen: clear it faster or avoid the ice

Every winter morning starts the same way: a windscreen covered in ice or snow, cold hands and the clock ticking. Scraping takes ages and you arrive late.

🤔 Why does this happen?

On clear, cold nights the glass cools down below freezing and moisture in the air freezes on it. Snowfall adds a layer that has to be removed from the whole car, not just a small window to look through.

ℹ️ Good to know

In Switzerland, driving with an iced or snow-covered car can be fined. All windows, lights and the roof must be cleared before you drive off.

✅ Solved in 3 steps

  1. Put a windscreen cover on the car in the evening, so in the morning you just pull it off.
  2. Keep a good ice scraper and a snow brush in the car to clear glass, lights and roof quickly.
  3. A 12V heater can help defrost, but use it only as a helper, not as a replacement for scraping.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I just clear a small hole to see through?

No. In Switzerland all windows, lights and the roof must be free of ice and snow, otherwise you risk a fine.

Can I pour hot water on the windscreen?

It is not recommended, because the sudden temperature change can damage the glass. A scraper, cover and the car's defroster are the safer choice.
