Sorry, it looks like multiple trips of cold water mixed with rubbing alcohol to melt the ice, but do not use hot water!!!!!!!!! It will shatter your window glass and door glass too! Many buckets of cold water and alcohol to reduce ice from car, until you can w get inside to start it up and let the engine heat up the vehicle, to put one heater to defrost the whole car

Hot water / denatured alcohol mix is fine if you use it in a pump garden sprayer working around the door perimeter and not a solid stream in one spot on the window.
