Sun shade / windshield cover for ice/frost/snow
 
I have an old (probably 12 years old) Brookstone sunshade that also goes on the outside of the windshield for ice/frost/snow. It has worked great - saved me lots of time in the mornings clearing my car to make it drivable. I tried it in the FR-S and it is too large - fit my old Contour SVT nicely - does anyone have a recommendation for a model to replace it with? The only things I see on Amazon have mixed reviews.

Yeah I've never heard of such a thing

Lol, it's not that complicated. He (or she) put the sunshade on the outside of the windshield and instead of adhering to the windshield, the ice/frost/snow adheres to the sunshade, which is then simply lifted off the windshield and the offending agent shaken off.

I used to just use a flattened cardboard box... needless to say, it worked VERY well for $0.00...

Now I get the luxury of a heated garage for the BRZ... So no more of that. :)

Here are a few on Amazon:

Kinda pricey: http://amzn.com/B004I01RS2

According to Amazon "does not fit your vehicle": http://amzn.com/B007Y5PQS0

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately since my wife opens these things) did not pop out of the box!
