Commander Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Doesn't even need to be luke warm - just water from the cold tap is enough to melt your way in. 3 Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Use hot water from the tap, cold water will only freeze quicker again, then dry it with some kitchen roll. 1 Quote
chirag1988 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Use hot water from the tap, cold water will only freeze quicker again, then dry it with some kitchen roll. Do my eyes deceive me, Will suggesting hot water?? :scare: :scare: Lol Quote

Do my eyes deceive me, Will suggesting hot water?? :scare: :scare: Lol I said hot water NOT boiling water. I use hot water from the tap to de-ice the rubber door seals without a problem. Quote
ChrisS Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I can't believe there is a discussion on here on how to melt ice :scare: Every winter since I've been here. (2009) No one seems to know that the car needs caressing with dragons breath. (or just Gummi Pfledge your door rubber in Oct/Nov ) Quote
Ekona Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Surely you just get your butler to do it, not that it would need doing anyway as the car is kept in a heated garage. We do all have butlers and heated garages on here, right? 2 Quote
Ponsonby Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Not a problem here in Cheshire where most of the salt is mined. Lazy spreaders set the spread so wide as to cover both sides of the road and the pavements. If you see them coming and don't have time to duck down a side road then you get a complete car de-ice. Usually followed by a telling off from my passenger for foul language. 1 Quote

370Ad Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I always just take a leak on it....seems to work well and doesn't waste natural resources. Always find it comes out the right temperature too Quote
Dave-350 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Doesn't even need to be luke warm - just water from the cold tap is enough to melt your way in. Thats what I did, hot water on frozen glass just scares me! Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Dont do what I did 1 day in my other car with drop down window, thought I would get in and heat it up, defrosted the drivers window got in, turned on waited 10 mins and then couldnt get back out as the window had refrozen, no phone to call for help and had to wait 25 mins more till the car had heated enough to heat the rubber on the outside to let the window drop to get out 2 Quote

JetSet Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Seems to be a chronic problem with The Zed, I can only recall this happening on one other car I had and that only happened twice. The Zed must have frozen up 20 or 30 times since I've had it. Pete Quote
ostego Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Had this happen this morning for the first time and am glad to see someone else has had the same problem! the windows on these 350s are a ****ing pain all around! Guess they're not exactly designed as winter cars Will wake up 10 mins earlier for work tomorrow with a bucket of warm water at hand! Quote
AMT Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) No hot water lol Use cold water from the tap then you can mix it with a bit of luke warm, gradually dribbling it over (best to use a bottle of some sort, big coke one or something). Don't just splash it on lol Also unlock/lock a few times if the locks are frozen. Edited January 14, 2014 by AMT Quote
ZEUS Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I always just take a leak on it....seems to work well and doesn't waste natural resources. Always find it comes out the right temperature too I bet it makes your car smell funny though ! Quote
Hammerz Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 If it's iced over just in a few places I'm sure if you lick it then you'll be fine 1 Quote
ioneabee Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 GAIDMGLOL stop doing that - I have to keep googling things like that Quote
