Default credit-card for windshield thin-ice: "credit-card-like" ice-scraper?

We all know that with a curved windshield, about the only

since it is flexible enough to fit to the window shape,
yet is hard enough to get the ice cover.

Does there exist a "professional" window scraper
that somehow works as well as the credit card?

The scrapers I see (and have bought) have a rubber
squeege-thing on once side, and a hard plastic
"ice scraper" (I guess) on the other.

Would be fine with a 30=year old VW-Beatle, with
its perfectly flat winshield. Or maybe with big
trucks or vans, if that's what they have.

But a passenger car -- heck, I get maybe one third
of an inch wide scraped area (if that).

Bloody useless!

Any ideas? Any products that work on these
curved windows?


Thanks!

I'd just stick with the credit cards. They're free, easy to get, and
when they are used in this manner, you wont go into debt or get
screwed over because of a lousy piece of plastic. In fact this might
be the ONLY good use for credit cards.......

Just my 2 cents !!!!
I think credit card companies are evil.
