    but some days thats not feasible.

    Wat. Some days it isn’t feasible to have your windshield free from ice while you’re driving???

    If your car doesn’t have a function to pre-heat it, you can buy a pre-heater for not very much money.
    You can buy a windshield cover to put on in the evening for even less money.
    Or put 2-3 hot water bottles on the dash first thing in the morning. That’s enough to melt the ice on the windshield.

      Bold of you to assume I don’t have 9 alarms set and struggle to get up early enough before work to do that. Sleep disorders are fun!

      I do use the heater, but it takes a while. Some days I am dangerously late for work as a result. Those are the days even the scraper doesnt work.

        Sorry, being late for work is not an excuse for driving a vehicle in an unfit condition. Either you prepare the car to drive it, or you don’t start the journey.
