I live in South Carolina while we don't have as harsh winters I want something to protect my car from ice. How does this handle ice on the windshield?

I live in CO, not only do we have snow, we also have ice. It works great on both.

It only protects against precipitation that it blocks from landing on the windshield. If you have a lot of storms that start as rain then later freeze in the night, this might not work as well because it doesn't completely seal the glass off from water (some would likely get in around the edges).

As I bought mine a few weeks ago, I don't have a full winter's use of it, yet. We've had very cold weather and relatively lots of snow in southern New Jersey. It's done the job. I put a water-resistant cover where the heater's plug connects with the extension cord. The less expensive deicers I've had in the past haven't lasted more than 2 winters, but this one seems much sturdier.

Will the drawstring help in windy areas from blowing off? Also, does it help prevent ice on windows? We don't live in snow area but can get pretty cold - maybe as cold as 35-40 degrees?

It does a good job of keeping the car cooler. Nothing will prevent heat from getting in. I have a white car, live in Florida, and the interior still gets warm even with heavy window tinting and the heat shield. Guess it depends on where you live. I am happy with the design.

I already answered this. It does nothing to protect against cold air. It didn't fit my doors, and I use it now as a cat toy.

I always lift my wipers in cold weather off the windshield until I am ready to drive. I have not had your problem as yet. But my fluid lines are attached to the wiper arm, so the hot fluid is sprayed across the glass with the wiper movement. Works pretty good for me. My Temps only go down to 0 rarely. Usually around +10 at night.

Leafsout is very durable. Aluminum and stainless steel. Cold weather has not affected mine. I don't see where it would encourage ice damming.

It's a simple wheel and axle design. If snow and ice are allowed to build up anything can freeze.

I can't answer you about ice. I live in Florida and it works really well in the rain. Especially on the windshield. The bottle says that one can will cover a 6 passenger vehicle. I used 2 cans it works well but I would recommend doing it sooner than ever year. No harm in trying it once.

I live in Indiana so we have had some cold weather however I have not been through a winter with it. It seems to work well all the time. I like to use the cover that comes with it that keeps the unit clean and from getting soaked. Hope this helps. Thank you

Does not hurt to use frozen ice packs. I would not use regular ice as it is not water proof. I kept the items in the trunk ofy car and it did a good job keeping things cool with ice packs.

I believe it is designed for that but I used it on my car convertible. It has held up thru this horrible winter with snow and ice. I am happy how this product performs

I did not have a problem with it, where I live I do not have a pile of snow accumulation on it, more ice and frost. It is a pain when it is windy if you put on by yourself. but once you get it on it works great. Least I do not have to scrap my windshield every morning.

Now let me start by saying I live in little rock but we have had out snowiest and iciest winter in 50 years. It has fared pretty well outdoors but it is under an awning or covered deck. The ice last pretty well. Certainly enough for a party, it's not a yeti obviously but has done the trick. I really like the drain feature. This was well thought out. Just make sure it arrives without damage. Mine had some but had to use it the day it arrived so didn't feel right about returning it after it had been used

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

I use it with a cart that has a windshield, so I have the back covered with cover's plastic windshield. It traps most of the heat from the heater that way. It would work similarly using suran wrap depending on the seal. One thing is that the sides don't come down as far as they do with a winter cart cover, but, mine keeps me warm enough with the heater. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend this product. I hate mine. It got ice cold in the winter and now it gets extremely hot to the touch during the summer days. It may work on your car but don't think about this purchase for long time use.
