My car cover has frozen onto the vehicle! Can the paint be damaged if I pull it off? I don't want to use hot water because it will turn my driveway into a skating rink.

 

my advice, DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!!!!!!!!

you will do something bad to it. it will crack the cover, take a layer of paint with it... who knows what else. in the future, if the cover isnt water proof, dont use it! I mean what good is the cover if water still gets through and freezes to your vehicle? skip the cover, water never hurt anything.but peeling ice off cant be good.

 

The only safe way is to pour warm water over the entire cover or wait until it defrosts on it's own. Yanking the cover off will likely damage the paint. Good Luck.

What kind of cover did you use? Did you put the cover on a wet car? Tell us the details.

 

Hair dryer & extension cord.

 

I used the cover from Nissan. The car wasn't wet but I had washed it earlier that day but dried thoroughly. Maybe there was enough evaporation to get under the cover and freeze. Anyway, I just left it alone and the sun thawed it out. Next time I think I will just throw some warm water over the cover.

Thanks for your advice!!

 

the safest way is no cover at all.
just let the sun do the work
