regarding Frost Guard

cubagal — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 20:24:41 GMT

Dag gone it!!! I am NOT going to llsten to what ANY of the hosts or vendors say anymore. Jacque Gonzalez said " get the regular sized frost guard, it fit my suv, and I really thought I would need a large". So, I trusted her, and get the $30 purchase, and the darned thing is too small for my windshield, does NOT cover my windshield wiper blades. I had to scrape of the snow that is down in the well with the wipers. Makes me so mad. BUYERS BEWARE, if you think you have a large windshield, do NOT get the standard size, get the LARGE size. Now I have a worthless product!!!!!

It's a good product idea, except when the frost guard freezes to your windshield or the straps that go around your mirrors freeze onto the mirrors and you have to basically rip them away.

I broke down and bought one, but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet.

I agree. I ordered the one last year & had a regular sedan but I had a large windshield. Sure enough, I listened to them & the vendor (who also does the humidifiers) & ordered the regular size and it did not fit. It left quite a bit of the windshield exposed defeating the whole purpose. You would think their presentations would be accurate since they have the product in hand. We must rely on their information to guide us & sadly, it is often wrong. They simplify too much & glide quickly over the details which we need.

DH bought one for his truck. It lacks just a bit for covering all the windshield from side to side. The elastic does not work well when you live where you get more ice then snow like we get. DH said it would work better if it had the flap on both sides to close in each door. When it's icy like that we don't get out but it does keep DH from scraping the windshield before he does leave. He justs lets his truck run to warm up before he removes it.

I agree with you. I think to solve my problems is to STOP buying anything from QVC. Getting so I can't afford it anyway. I will stick to HSN and Evine!!!! They have easy pay on EVERYTHING!!!!

OP, there still should be time to return or exchange it until the end of the month.

Do "they" give you the dimensions, length and width? If people had those numbers, maybe it would help. That information should be given in the presentation as well as on the item page.

Maybe you should have read the measurements and measured your windshield. SUVs come in different sizes. There is also a chart you could have referred to regarding the recomended size for your vehicle -- it lists the make/model type also.

Last year, I purchased a regular sized Frost Guard for my husband's Honda Element. Did this because both the host and the sales person, said that the extra large was for things like the bigger trucks, etc. Well, the regular size Frost Guard was way too small for the windshield. Found this out after the first snow storm. This year I got wise, and purchased the extra-large size. My husband said that this fits his windshield just fine. Don't know who is doing the measurements on these things. But now I have an extra Frost Guard that we can't use. If you have an Element, GO with the extra large size.

I have the same problem with mine. I drive a Subaru Forester, ordered the regular sized one and there is a gap on either side of the frost guard where it doesn't cover my windshield completely. I would also like to see them make the top fabric more resistant to ice. We get alot of freezing rain here and it sticks to the fabric and is impossible to shake off, then melts all over the back of my car.

You should be able to rely on a show host. After all, that is their job.

I bit and bought two of them last year and gifted them to both sons.... neither of them will use them, says they are just too much trouble to deal with. They stick to the windows and are actually harder to get them AND the ice off because of it. So they just don't use them.

I can see these ending up in thrift stores all over this great Nation~!!

I just can't grasp the appeal of these things but they sell hundreds of thousands of them.

I cannot imagine trying to use them on a large truck. My Dh's truck is an F-250. How in the world would you even get that thing on the truck across the windshield? I guess I'd have to hook it on one side and throw it across and hope I could grap it to hook the other side. LOL

I think these would be good for people who get a light dusting of snow and not much more. The demos crack me up with that little fluffy stuff they put on the Frostguard and then pour a little water on.

I have also brought up the fact that while yes this does your front windshield, what about the rest of the windows on your car? Someone posted that she's never had to clean off any other windows of her car besides her front windshield. Either she was one of those people who only cleans off the front and is a menace on the road because she can't see out of any other window until her defrost takes care of it, or she lives someplace where they get a light dusting and it blows off as she backs out of the driveway. LOL

I live in Ohio. We can get hammered with snow and you aren't going anywhere without cleaning off every window on your car/SUV.

First off, I think the show hosts should just give us the facts concerning the item and not their personal testimonials or advice. Listen to the QVC Social Team gal Kim and they will make your purchase right. Regarding the Frost Guard, I ordered as per the advice of the vendor and both guards fit our vehicals. The regular for our Colbalt , the large for the Silverado truck and my husband loves them.

A former co-worker gave me one for Christmas 2014 and I love it. I have a Hyundai Accent which is a small car. The fit is fine.

The only problem or concern that I have with mine is that if it snows a lot, then gets very cold for a day or two, it will difficult to get the guard off. It sticks to the windshield.
