Hello, Just got a 2012 Jazz and want to get to know more.

Was wanting to know what windscreen cover is available to save scraping the glass. This Jazz windscreen is huge?

What type do you use?

Hello.

No cover for me, just a trigger spray of instant de-icer and a small piece of wood if I want to scrape it.

I just use the universal €5 windscreen cover i already had from my previous car and it fits perfect.

cover doesn't need to cover whole screen, just the area the wipers cover and the wipers themselves.

I have found with some plastic covers they can leave an oily film on the screen when new which can smear screen, but probably no worse a smear than some cheap de-icing fluids cause.

The best de-icer I have found is Auto-Glym, a bit pricey but it doesn't take much, works fast and doesn't smear so probably works out cheaper in the end.

many places don't stock it (Halfords used to) but can get it on Amazon for £6 to £7 for 500mL pump spray bottle
