i haven't used my car in 3 days now, and its been parked outside. finally i decide to go outside and see whats up with my max, its totally buried in ICE!! there is at least 2 inches of ice on it. the doors and trunk were frozen shut, and my ice scraper was in the trunk, along with my liquid de-icer, whats the best (safest) way to get all that ice off?

 

warm water or hair dryer would be my first guesses

 

I've always heard cold water for ice. You don't want anything toooo warm as the temp difference could cause the glass to crack.

 

keep that warm water away from the glass!

 

i was afraid of using warm water cause of the glass, so i used cold water and a stick (only thing i can find that would work), now its totally de-iced, now i need a carwash. thanks again.

 

I remember a post somewhere here, where a guy said that a bucket of warm watter "SHATTERED" his window..

Get some of that ice-melt in a can, and an ice scraper, and you **SHOULD** be fine..
