I saw a project something like 25 years ago that added a pipe looping through the washer-fluid tank and tapped into the cooling system to let the coolant warm up the washer fluid. I believe there are electric heaters you can get to add in to existing washer tanks, too.

^ bitch please, 1987 Toyota Celica had heated mirrors.
My windshield has a crack in it that runs along right above the defroster vent, it happened after I parked but I assume some snow fell on it when it was still hot and bam, cracked glass.

I always hated scraping mirrors, cause most scrapers are too big for the mirrors, or you change the mirror a bit then have to re-adjust.

I usually put beach towels over my windshield and rear window at night or whenever i park my car. All i gotta do in the morning is take those towels n put em back in the garage to dry. Warm up my car for about a min or so and BAM good to go!

start my car --> take out scraper ---> walk around your vehicle to do a simple inspection and to admire your own car ---> light up a smoke --> scrape
good to go

i realized i gave my ice scrapers away to my mom and sister and didn't plan to keep one in my car because i dont' drive in the winter but i was late for work and decided to drive.
well the only thing i had my house that could scrape it was a plastic yellow ruler, and it worked fucking awesomely. i mean my hands got cold, but i'm not a bitch
