What does an Ice and Snow Windshield cover do?

If it’s cold outside, ice or snow can form on your windshield. Scraping snow and ice off your windshield with a scraper could cause damage. You can scratch the glass or leave indentations. Cracking can also occur when ice is on windshields. Cracking can occur when windshields are thawed quickly with warm water. These problems can be prevented by keeping ice and snow from building up on the windshield.

Snow and ice windshield covers do not solve all problems with cold weather windshields. The cold weather can cause cracks or chips in your windshield. This can lead to cracks or chips growing. Unfortunately, a windshield cover will not heat up enough to stop the glass from shrinking. This can be prevented by sealing the crack or chip before the cold weather arrives.
