Cardboard Windshield Cover For Bad Weather

If you go to the fabric store (to the clear plastic section used for tablecloths, etc), get a piece that will cover your windshield and add about 30 inches.

What you will do is open your car door, put in the end of the plastic and close the door. Take the remaining long end of the plastic and run it across the windshield and under the wipers to the other side, open the passenger door and insert the other end.

Doing this keeps the plastic in place in high winds and your windshield free of ice and snow.

When it comes time to drive you just have to open the doors, shake off the snow and ice and roll it all up and put in a grocery bag (I have made a little draw bag to put the rolled up plastic in out of scrap material).

I gave as gifts to family, friends and co-workers at holiday time.
They loved them! :)

Hope someone can use this info.

I just take a heavy black trash bag, cut it down one side, open one door, stick the end inside the car, wrap the bag across the windshield and over the wipers, then open the other door and tuck the other end in. This keeps the windshield clear, the wipers don't freeze to the glass, and I don't have a large piece of wet cardboard nor have I spent any money! And I keep a plastic bag in the car to fold my windshield cover up in after it has dried off, in the passenger side footwell, with the heater blowing warm air on it.

I am sure this works, but it just might look a little "trashy".

Just be sure the cardboard does not become wet (rain, humidity, sleet, etc.) before freezing or you will never get the cardboard off your windshield. You will eventually be able to get it off - when Spring arrives.
