It's not there to protect cracking. The window will still be very fragile in cold weather with or without the protector. It's used to save the need to use deicing fluids or remove the need (temptation) to scrape the ice off and so scratch the window.

As did mine Imy, did,nt realise what it was for quite a while, was using it to lay on when working under the car for 6 months. It,s suprisingly tough, thankfully. :o: :)
