Cover for frost
Has anyone used an outside windshield cover to keep off the frost? I see a couple on different sites but not sure which would be best. My truck has to sit outside and I hate to scrape.

I thought of that, but I would think the better the fit, the better the protection. I'm thinking about the weatherbuster.

I used one a few years back a few times. They work but are a hassle to get on, the one I used held on to the car by shutting it in the doors.

Green Bay WI. / Wawa Ont. ??? You need an oil pan heater, just put the selector in defrost before you park. Saves your engine too. Also get one for your battery. Engine oil pan heaters, filter heaters & battery warmers. Designed for cars, diesel engines, more effective than block heaters, magnetic heaters. Suitable for Volkswagen vw beetle, Audi, Land Rover, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Takes about twenty minutes to install.
