Yes, I have seen the light bulb method keep an automatic waterer for fowl from freezing down in the -10 degree F range as a kid. will work fine .lots of nice safety thoughts already posted.

Yep. very common method for boat owners to keep the interior above the dew point. It's the difference between musty fragrances in the spring and that ocean-fresh blast that greets you when you first pop the hatches.


Since those early boating days, I managed to scrounge a Hoffman cabinet heater used to keep electical stuff warm in the winter in the colder climates. Has a thermostat, a fan, and does a great job keeping thigs from getting too cold. No clue what they sell for, but I'm guessing they probably aren't as cheap as a light bulb.

Electric blanket idea is ok if a fresh breaker was used on a grounded circuit ( in the panel ), and the blanket was on low.

Wow some great responses. I seriously didn't have any idea that the light bulb idea was that popular and more importantly that many use it to prevent damage to their interiors.

Can anyone post a picture of their setup for the 928? Is the bulb hung off the mirror or somewhere else? Do you keep the door partially cracked to run the wire through or do you open the sunroof instead? I'm worried about mice getting in the car.

Another tip, use a dessicant to keep the interior dry during winter months.
