I've used a 2 litre bottle with room temperature water in it for 3 winters now and I've yet to crack a window, that's with a chip in the windscreen. I find all a scraper does is cover your hand in ice.

The Audi seems to defrost itself really quick even with thick ice on it.

Vorsprung durch Technik FTW.

I don't use it, just don't like it, no scientific reason.

If the ice is too thick to scrape just leave the car on for 10 mins, heats up from the inside and the ice doesn't stick to the window anymore, can then scrape off.
