@Mz iMac I guess my point is if you use the de-icer than you wouldn't need the FG correct? Since the FG only protects one window, whatever you use for the other windows you can use for the windshield thus eliminating the the use of the FG. I just use my car's defrost (front & rear). I may also pick up some of that de-icer you talk about for days when I am in a hurry and don't want to wait for my defrost to work.

@DJs mom- When you live somewhere where you get not just light frost, but solid ice or a foot or more of snow on your front windshield, you would understand the usefulness of the FrostGuard.

Yes, you still have to clear your other windows, but they tend to be vertical and easier to clear.  I also have a heated rear window and side mirrors, but the FrostGuard on my truck or car windshield is a godsend. The FrostGuard also covers the windshield wiper arms and prevents them from freezing in place, avoiding potentially expensive damage.

@Venezia I live in Philly and get all of which you speak of.

@DJs mom- If you get those conditions and your car's defrost can handle it reasonably quickly, it must be a great defrost system.  I've had a half-inch of ice on my truck windshield before I got the Frostguard and that's no fun to remove and it isn't easy.

I know it would take much longer where I am in northern New England to handle clearing it, even with de-icer.  And, again, it's worth it to me to keep the windshield wiper arms from getting frozen.

But, hey, what works for one of us, doesn't work for everyone.  Good thing we all have choices!

We got 4" of snow. 

Today, 40 mph wind blew all the snow off the cars & the sun melted the rest. 

All I can say is thank you Q for Frost Guard because all the car windows in the p/l are covered in ice even though it's suppose to be 50° out side.  Windchill factor 20°.

@Mz iMac I see the frost guard offered on the Q every winter and have been tempted to roder a few times. I don't understand because even though the front window is clear what about the others? You still have to defrost your back windows and side windows. I turn on my car's defrost and it clears all of my windows.

Or you can do like SOME people I see on my drive to work. Don't clear any of your windows. And clear a tiny spot to see out your windshield. And have ever other window covered in snow.

After I see cars like that I pray that they stay on the other side of the street.
