wouldn't just placing a sheet over your front window have the same effect? I've seen people do that with their cars, and just wrap the sheet around the windshield and shut the doors on it to hold it on.

Could be a chance of scratching/scuffing the paint or something if you had to remove that thing every single morning.

I'd say spend a few bucks and just get a remote starter to defrost your windows in the morning before you leave.

i like how that cover will keep the frost off every surface: windshield, door windows, rear window, and even side-view mirrors from the looks of it....

Remote start for sure! If you dont have the auto climate control, just leave your defroster on high and heat on high the night before...It was worth the $300!

yeah, i was getting juiced up to do that, but as these bills are coming in for the new truck, mods, etc. i'm starting to get mean with my money... i'll try the cover for a winter and see how it goes.... now, if i was gonna be dealing with a MICHIGAN winter, i might would have to find the money anyhow....

It's not just for winter. I use it in the summer to coool it off before I get in. And also to scare people who are next to it LOL
