How to choose a windshield snow cover for your car

A windshield snow cover lies over the glass overnight. In the morning you lift it off and the snow, ice and frost come off with it, so there is nothing to scrape. The two things that decide whether a cover works are how well it fits your windshield and how it stays on.

Custom fit or universal?

A universal cover is sized to fit many vehicles, so on any one car it is usually too big (loose fabric that flaps in the wind) or too small (bare glass at the edges that still ices up). A custom-fit cover is cut to the outline of one windshield, so it covers the glass edge to edge.

Find the cover for your model years

Windshields change shape between vehicle generations, so the same model can need a different cover from one generation to the next. Check the model years listed on the cover against your vehicle's model year. AutoFitPro lists every snow cover by make, model and years on one page: windshield snow covers by vehicle.

What the layers do

AutoFitPro snow covers have three layers: a waterproof reflective silver outer shell, an insulating cotton core and a soft black polyester lining that sits against the glass.

How it attaches

Lay the cover over the windshield and secure it with the included elastic straps. No tools are needed.

Storing it

Shake off the snow, fold the cover and keep it in the included storage pouch.
