In Alaska, up on the North Slope oilfields, in winter they more often than not just leave the engines running constantly.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

OK, thanks. Does the A/C do a good job of clearing a frozen front screen?
No better or worse than most cars tbh.
You can't beat a kettle of luke warm water imo.
Lukewarm water? And what is the temperature in Alaska in January? Lukewarm would shatter that, ethylene glycol is the stuff to use, if you can't wait for a air blown defrost.

I've got a heated windscreen as standard on my transit connect
Just saying...
heated windscreen is a Ford invented thing, so they fit it to every thing even my dads basic Fiesta has one.
I cannot get on with them in the dark, gives head lights a star burst effect coming the other way.

The op is from Warwickshire. Wtf does Alaska have to do with it?

I've also always used warm water - never even bought a tin of de-icer.

(Even at night ;-) )
Alaska really doesn't have anything to do with Warks. However, lukewarm water can freeze on top of the iced windscreen. Secondly, can weaken the windscreen due to temperature shock, of sudden increase in temperature.
So, ethylene glycol is favoured method. Austrian wine works quite well too!
In Alaska, up on the North Slope oilfields, in winter they more often than not just leave the engines running constantly. Even in summer they leave all the doors unlocked, so you can escape from the bears.
No heated screen option and if REMS does list one, you lose the integral antenna(ae) and will have to re-route and mount one on the surface... somewhere.
Treating the windscreen with a hydrophobic coating will help clear it. Something like:

Is this any different/better than RainX?
