I brushed off the top of my car and had that thin layer of ice left that just wouldn’t come off. I felt so guilty later when I heard the whole thing slide off at a stop sign.

Better at a stop sign than on the freeway!

Yup. Sliding off is fine. It’s flying off that causes problems.

If you have enough time to do so, you can run your car for about 15 or so minutes with the heat on full blast. It will warm the roof up enough to loosen up the ice so that you should be able to fully dislodge it.

I ran it with remote start this morning for 20 minutes and it still wouldn't budge when trying to do it by hand. I accidentally found out that hitting the gas at a stop sign will do the trick though.

Those of us who have lived here forever know this. I did 25 minutes this morning at 5 am. Didn’t make a dent.

I also did remote start for over 15min. Just didn’t get warm enough.

had to crack the ice with the scraper like a pick to get it to come off
Saw a old guy using his arms to clear his windshield after half his roof snow/ice came down onto this windshield. Luckily I was in the other lane.

Same. Minus the guilt.
We live in winter. Ice sheets happen. It’s a fact of life. We need to go back to 2000 when people were hearty enough to understand and accept this

So, you’re not showing me anytbing I don’t know here as a native of snow and ice. Are you expecting to somehow educate with me via YouTube? I don’t have a lot of regard for those who cite YouTube videos during debate. Might as well cite Wikipedia while you’re at it.
Sincerely can’t believe you used YouTube as evidence or a citation.
