What to know

  • There is no physical ice scraper item in the game known so far
  • Windshield ice clears through the heater and airflow, or by scraping manually
  • The engine must be running to generate heat
  • Rushing to drive before defrosting is a common beginner mistake

In My Winter Car, winter weather is not just cosmetic—it directly affects how safely you can drive. One of the first frustrations new players face is an iced-over windshield with almost zero visibility. While real life would call for an ice scraper, the game handles things differently.

This guide explains exactly how ice scraping works, why scraping isn’t possible, and how you can clear your view and drive your car safely without wrecking your car.
