gmrulz4u Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 Well I live in Southern Ontario, and winter's a comin'!!( All I know, is that for the past 2 winters(the # of winters with my 89 Supreme), my damn windows ALWAYS get frozen, and won't come down! I hate it! ESPECIALLY seeing as I have to pay to park at work everyday, and when you get there, you have to grab a ticket, and when you leave, you have to pay a person, so that's TWICE I have to power down my window! Anyone have any tricks of the trade to prevent this annoyance? Probably not... THANKS:o) Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 Try cleaning your window with alchohol. That's what is used in some de-icers you buy. Maybe having it on your window will slow the freezing process. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Quote
luminator94 Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 Hell, snow is in our forecast for this Friday AND Saturday! I live in northwestern PA. I came out of work tonight and I had to scrape my windshield, was frosted over pretty good. I don't mind winter that much anymore, just hate that lake effect snow from Lake Erie. Aaron Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 I live in central PA and we're supposed to get snow Friday also. I don't mind the snow at all. I can't take the temps. going below 25*. If it stayed around 30* all winter I'd be happy. Quote
CortxVortx Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 I live in Waco Texas. What's "snow"? ]}:> Not that I've needed it, but I've seen plastic sheets with magnets on the edges, that fit over the windows. Even cheaper is a garbage bag and kitchen magnets. Quote
LukeZ34 Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 Speaking of snow, ice and winter.. anyone know of any good car covers? I need one that's gonna protect the cutty against the elements this winter since I don't have a nice garage it can sleep in. While the cutty sits covered in the driveway, I'll use the sammy for the transportation in the snow and ice. Quote
chronic139 Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 I live here in Ont. too. I know what your talking about. Luckily my GTP is going into hibernation in the middle of November. Still gotta find a winter beater though. Quote
Jeorge Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 My STE has been parked for 3 weeks already.....Im moving it into the garage this weekend though..... Quote
crc Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 In the same boat here, southerwestern ontario.. I've had good luck with silicon spray. You need to careful put the stuff on the inner tracks, just keep it away from your paint and get a good quality brand of the chemical. I find my windows only get stuck in extreme low temperatures (the doors do this also). Quote
Chinski Posted October 16, 2002 Report Posted October 16, 2002 It snowed here Sunday I think it was. We had at least 1/2" on the ground. There were a few flurries coming down when I got out of class this morning too. Gonna have to bust out the snow tires an a few weeks! Quote
Justin Posted October 17, 2002 Report Posted October 17, 2002 Try coating your window tracks and "fuzzies" with petroleum jelly. I've heard it works well on the rubber door seals as well, to keep your doors from freezing. I haven't broken any door handles yet pulling frozen doors open, but I would rather not start, either. I'm in ND, so we know a little about cold weather too. Then use the rest of the petroleum on your enemies' windshield wipers, haven't tried it, but it sounds like it makes quite a mess Quote
JPaganel Posted October 17, 2002 Report Posted October 17, 2002 Petroleum anything and rubber are not a good mix. Where were you in sex ed? They tell you to not use petroleum jelly and rubbers there. Petroleum products will soften and eat away the rubber. Try silicone grease instead. The "dielectric tuneup grease" should work. Quote
Justin Posted October 17, 2002 Report Posted October 17, 2002 I'm a good truck driver. I back up before I dump my load. Don't be a fool. Wrap your tool. Quote
