Looks like we had a harder frost down south than you had, the frost on mine was much thicker than that this morning, and is still covered as my front drive is in the shade this time of year.

This also applies to folding mirrors.
Don't fold them in if you know there's going to be a sharp frost/ice overnight. :ugeek:

-11 and they still worked fine for me.

When we had that cold winter about 5 years ago i was driving arond in my carbed 3rd Gen.

Windows didnt do much and sunrood didnt but everything worked perfectly. The auto choke stayed on along time though.

But no issues with erection lights.

Its a normal car at the end of the day. It can take anything.

never had issue with my pop ups. Agreed that autochoke stays on longer and engine takes a lot longer to come up to temp.
