So we got a whack of freezing rain last night and then the temperature plummeted to -17 overnight... my Jeep had a 1/4" thick coating of ice on every surface this morning. I started it up and began the lengthy process of scraping the ice off the windows, noticing that the rear window defroster was making short-work of the ice build-up while I hacked and cursed at the accumulation on the front windshield. So here's my rant... why the hell don't the car manufacturers put electric defroster grids on the front windows too?!? It took 10 minutes of idling before the heater had enough jam to start melting the ice on the front window, whereas the rear was clear in barely a minute (with some scraping).
I think the front window is somewhat more important than the rear so why is that the only one with a electric grid on it?
Stupid winter.
