-7 this morning after nights. Car frozen at work start it up, heater/seat on. Decide to scrape frozen screen. Fuel filler cap frozen shut! Seems a neat place to put ice scraper but maybe not too clever!!!

I know exactly what you mean here! Think I posted the same topic this time last year after getting mine! Remembered to put it in my drivers door bin for this winter. Nice feature but not particularly well executed.

Yup stupid place to put it. Mine lives in the glovebox.

never used mine - it's there as an emergency i guess.. i use the one i've had for a few years, much bigger and easier to use.  lives under the passenger seat so easy to find..

This is intentional.

 

You dont want to scratch your windscreen with ice scraper. 

 

You should have bought heated windscreen  

Ironically we both have Heated Screens on our cars - but they both live in the garage overnight - it is handy when you get back from an Evening in the pub to find a frozen screen though.

.........but you still have to scrape the side windows, they might gret scratched.

I bought one of these last year, pricey for an ice scraper but it is bloody good as far as an ice scraper goes, no issues so far.

 

Bought my car second hand, no heated windscreen; previous car had one; the only thing I miss off my old Ford is that heated windscreen.
