#1: Ice INSIDE My Car Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:54 am ---- Hi,
Went into my car yesterday after work and the inside of the windscreen was frozen. i.e. I had to scrape the frost from the inside.
What the hell? I cannot fathom why this is.
Any ideas?
Thanks
JD

could be because the car has a small leak and water got in and attempted to evaporate. or could be because you sat in the car a while after it was turned off before you got out. causing the windows to steam up. which then froze over night Last edited by MrrNoName on Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:56 am; edited 1 time in total

Then wipe all the moisture off the windscreen.
Give a good clean with some decent window cleaner and some newspaper.
Should stop it freezing.
Either that and/or when driving put your blower onto taking air from outside rather than re-circulating. Then when stopping (and leaving overnight) make sure that no moisture is on the inside.

To clean the inside of the windscreen - works wonders!
