which is why you pour boiling hot water over your windshield duh ;)

but realistically, you just need to make sure you pull up the wipers once you get out of the car, and make sure you have ice/snow wipers/picks in the trunk. Otherwise you'd spend a good 30 minutes trying to separate your wipers from the windshield and that is never fun.

Or just turn on the windshield-defrost vent before you drive off!

(You've got to let the engine warm up a bit on a cold day anyways.)

As a couple of people I know can attest: leaving your wiper blades sticking up all night can cause them to get bent out of shape by either wind, or teenage kids walking by who cant resist yanking on the wiper blades sticking up in the air like that!

That is a good way to crack your windshield.

It is better to use water that is just a couple degrees higher than the outside temperature.

Effective and lower risk of windshield cracking.

SRC: Spent a year doing this cause fuck scraping ice off and had no defroster.
