So this past weekend we had some freezing drizzle and my windshield on the wolverine had some ice on it.....so my gf bought an ice scraper while I was at work, and scraped the windshield. Luckily the windshield didn't get scratched or anything, but my question is "is that a NO NO" to use an ice scraper on the yamaha folding windshield or do you think it would be alright? My gut says no....

I would check to see if the spray on de-icers are approved for plastics. That Lexan will take a lot but why risk it if you don't have to?

Lexan is soft, I wouldn't scrape it. De-icer fluid is usually either ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. Both safe on your lexan.

I'm gonna check out the spray de-icer and see what the can says. Thanks guys.....I know my gf meant well, but........

my windshield defroster that plugs into 12 volt outlet has a long cord and can be detached from holder and has a l handle on it has kept my windshield clear all winter.

I don't know about an ice scraper, but I do know for sure if you use a squeegee to clean off muddy water you will scratch the shit out of your windshield, mine and everyone I ride with windshields are all scratched thanks to my good idea gone bad.

I spray mine down with washer fluid then use a squeegee. No scratches.

I have been using the RainX Plastic formula and so far I like it! Just applied another coating last weekend inside and out. I'm sure it will still freeze up to some extent but it should help.

Thanks Timken and Mr Dwig I'll give it a try.

I wonder how those headlight restore kits would work on your scratched windshields?
