A few weeks ago when the cold and snow seemed never ending, I decided to try out the
Pro Tek Weather Shield. It's basically a windshield cover that is suppose to protect from frost, snow and dirt. I wanted to try it because anything that will make my early mornings a little easier is worth trying. I put the cover on one night when I returned home from work and hoped for the best. The next morning as I went outside in hopes of not having to scrape any ice from my windshield, I noticed the
Pro Tek Weather Shield had completely blown off and therefore, I had to scrape the frost from my car. It has magnets in all four corners that are suppose to secure it to the car, but in my case this didn't really help. I tried it again a few days later during a snowfall. It stayed on throughout the night because the snow was heavy, but in the morning when I pulled it off, I had to use the snow brush anyways because the snow just went all over the place. I bought the
Pro Tek Weather Shield at Showcase for $9.95. Although not expensive, it definitely wasn't worth it.
Drop it. It looks like the old fashioned way of removing frost and snow is just going to have to do.
This would be so great, and would save so much time (especially before early morning classes). That doesn't surprise me, though. Items like this one are way too good to be true.
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteThis little contraption would be so amazingly helpful! I'm disappointed that it was a fail. I love this blog idea, by the way!! I ALWAYS want to test out these tools and tricks, but never get around to it. I love that you are trying them out!
So you actually got it! I was patiently awaiting this one. I thought it was the best idea ever at first, but after reading I was so sad, moreso however, for the fact that you spent ten bucks and still had to brush off and scrape your windshield. I guess winter morning fights with windshield ice and snow are inevitable.
ReplyDeleteI need this product! I have broken a windshield wiper on my car because it froze to the glass! thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely the kind of person that loves crazy gadgets and quirky inventions, so this whole blog just fits in with what I find really cool (well maybe not the spray tan!) Too bad this one didn't work out, but I'll definitely heed your advice the next time I'm gadget shopping.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Lauren, lift up your wipers by hand before an ice storm and they won't freeze to the windshield! I learned the hard way, too.
