Default Windshield Snow Cover Recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a high quality windshield snow cover that fits a Cayenne? I’ve tried a couple that were claimed to fit, but they “fit” so poorly I returned them. I need something asap to beat an impending storm.

What is a windshield snow cover?

edit: Looked it up. I live in central Canada where the current temps are -40F (with wind chill). I can't say I've ever seen one on a car up here. They make something for everything these days.

I would've thought up there every car would come with one as standard equipment with windshield wipers. :-)

He reminds me of Billy Mays selling Oxi-Clean or Vince, the Sham-Wow guy. Keep him away from coffee!

Honestly, in almost 45 years of driving the Canadian prairies, I’ve never seen one installed. People just use a snow brush to sweep the snow off the windshield. Maybe places like Montreal see more use of them, they get a fair bit of freezing rain. For me, I just park in my heated garage, but I realize many people don’t have that option.

Same here, I’ve lived in MN for most of my life and I’ve never seen one used. Snow brush/scraper plus max defrost.

I’m not sure this saves much time over the traditional way plus what if it freezes to the windshield?
