Do Ice and Snow Windshield Covers Really Help? If you live in an area that is prone to ice and snow, you may have come across an ice or snow windshield cover. If you have, you may be wondering what whether it is beneficial to your windshield and how. Does a Cover Prevent All Cold Weather Windshield Problems? A snow and ice windshield cover does not prevent all cold weather windshield problems. If you have an unsealed crack or chip in your windshield, the cold weather can cause your glass to contract. This action can cause the chip or crack to grow. And unfortunately, a cover won't heat your windshield enough to prevent the glass from contracting. Having the chip or crack sealed before cold weather hits is the only way to prevent this. Secondly, if snow and ice build up on a windshield for an extended period of time, it can cause a crack due to the weight. This is the same as snow cracking a roof due to its weight. A cover cannot prevent this inside either. Is a Snow and Ice Windshield Cover Worth Investing In? A snow and ice windshield cover cannot prevent all cold weather damage to your windshield. That may leave you wondering if you should invest in one. If you park your car in a garage, it is unlikely snow or ice will build up on the windshield, so this isn't something you need to worry about. But, if you park your car outside, a cover is something you should consider investing in. It won't prevent all issues, but it can prevent a few of them, which is beneficial.

Seems okay but elastics way too short to fit properly.
It covers and fits the window nicely, though there's no way I can keep it on the car. The sideflaps are good to prevent theft but aren't enough on it's own to keep the windshield in place since the top always flaps down with the slightest wind. This shouldn't be a problem if the elastics for attachment on doorframe weren't way too short. Fully stretched they only reach halfway the door so impossible to attach them. This shouldn't be sold as a universal size cause you can't attach it properly on bigger cars. (I'm driving a renault Scenic)

Frost free!
Very impressive for £8. A heavy duty material that does an excellent job of keeping the windscreen frost free.

Good quality item
Good quality item, spoiled by the fact that the elastic is not adequate to task. If stretched over both doors it causes the sheild to ride up over the roof and away from the lower windscreen. I only have a small Skoda Fabia but the picture in the advert shows a BMW. Disappointed.
