Windshield Snow Cover?
Anyone using a windshield snow cover that they like? If so, where did you get it?
I have one, universal fit, and it is not universal. It only covers like 2/3 of the windshield top to bottom and I am really looking for something that is a better fit. Mine was suppose to have suction cups, but they suck, so i just tuck the sides inside the car and close the doors on them. Works good, but looking for something better. I have seen some with magnets but i dont trust that in the wind. Just looking for suggestions if anyone has purchased one recently. Thanks!

car covers are hard to secure, and there are risks of scratches due to elements getting stuck on the cover and getting pulled across paint during application, as well as when the wind whips and moves the cover around...plus, a good one is $$$$$. they are also cumbersome and in bad weather end up being a big wet heavy mess. i tried this on my last car, and not again. this is more for when i am at work and just dont want to spend tons of time cleaning off the front window.

Make it so
This idea might be too ghetto for some people, but as a poor college student I have learned how to make do on a budget to keep the car looking good.
My dad taught me the trick when I got my first car to put a towel over the windshield the night before it got really cold (and therefore, I expected ice). If you park your car in the street, you come out, pull off the towel and voila- totally ice-free windshield. It's a timesaver especially here in northern Utah, because I hate waking up even a few minutes earlier for class just to scape off ice.
If you live in a windier area, though, you may have to weigh it down or tape it onto the car so it doesn't blow away.
I've found this method to be free (you always have too many towels, especially ugly ones you never want to use for yourself) and it works every time. It might be more ghetto than the professional cover, but it's better than spending $40 for a piece of cloth or plastic. Plus it makes you look clever
