| Feb 6, 2014 at 14:52 | comment | added | Michiel | @OlinLathrop - I agree with the sentiment that asking clear questions is a must, but that is an acquired skill so I would be inclined to ask the OP whether he indeed means the freezing of the windshield or whether he means the freezing of water from the air on top of the windshield. And suggest to edit the question to be clarify this issue. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 14:43 | comment | added | Olin Lathrop | @Michiel: We shouldn't have to decide whether some other meaning than the clearly stated one is "obvious" or not. Those that can't write clear questions that ask what they mean to ask don't belong here. | |

| Feb 6, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | Michiel | @OlinLathrop Although literally the OP is asking about the windshield freezing, it is obvious that he in fact means the frost layer formed by condensation from humid air and subsequent freezing of the condensate. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 14:12 | comment | added | Olin Lathrop | The windsheild doesn't substantially "freeze" more or less for normal differences around 0C. It will remain solid for practical purposes over the full range of normal windshield operating temperatures, including well below and well above freezing. Actually a windshield contains other materials than glass, but these don't substantially "freeze" or not freeze over the normal operating temperature range. Your question therefore makes little sense. | |
