That is actually really cool! Up here, the weather can change so fast - and I *always* forget to put the scrapper/brush in the vehicle the first time we experience frost/ice buildup.

The offering is available on Etsy. As I mentioned in my post, it ships out of Kraków Poland.

The custom holder for the ice scrapper that resides in that spot is terrific .....what really is the cherry on the top so to speak, is the very highly regarded Škoda Ice Scraper itself.

I wanted such a quality scraper, holder or not.

Win win, I get the Škoda ice scraper and a nifty holder, a custom holder, for the JL/JLU ...that stores that scraper where I can easily get to it.

I'm not sure how the seller can sell this offering for under $20.

The Škoda 5JJ 867 575 A 9B9, ice scraper (it is the smaller size scraper that Škoda offers) is very hard to find these days and it alone costs well over $15 ...... and then you pay the shipping cost to get it to the USA, etc..

Anyway, knowing/wanting the small, Škoda ice scraper, and finding it at that low of a price ..... well, I jumped on it.

@zouch

Yes, for sure it is a "neat design"... and I will find the offering useful.

Apparently there is just not enough room on Diesel and 4xe models.. About the holder... it looks like it grew there ... looks factory.

Yes, this Fuel Door Ice Scrapper with the Škoda ice scraper is quite the offering.

I'm still wondering how it is offered/sold for under $20, with that Škoda and being shipped from Poland.

See how it resides in that small area. I'm left handed so for easier use, the holder is positioned a little differently then it is in this pic..

@Maverickxeo

I was at a Saturday event earlier today... lots of JL owner's there.. They all all went nutso so to speak over the JL, Fuel Door Ice Scrapper with the Škoda ice scraper.

A couple of the guys have used/had a Škoda ice scraper and to also have that scraper with a holder designed for the JL and for cheap.. well, they are ordering from the guy in Poland..

Like you up there in Canada... and also here in Upstate NY ... you forget to put the scrapper/brush in the vehicle or just find it very very handy to have a terrific ice scrapper like the Škoda ice scraper to do a quick window scrape with when needed.

Hmmm, I'm still trying to figure out how this Etsy seller can sell a custom Fuel Door Ice Scrapper with the Škoda ice scraper for that price and have that low price include shipping. That seller says he ships free, to anywhere in the World...

Posted this over in camping, but feels in the spirit of this thread: two wood boards mounted to hardtop bolts (M8 x 1.25) so I can pull stacked totes and coolers out without taking everything out. Bonus: soft top clears and folds all the way back still. $5 for bolts

Fuel Door Bug Scraper and Ice Scraper..

I posted earlier in this thread about the Etsy offering advertised as a Fuel Door Ice Scraper...

Yes, it is a very cool Ice Scrapper with a custom holder for the JL .... but guess what....
it makes an excellent BUG Scraper, too.. So, now I have a goodie that is useful year around regardless what geographical location I am in....

Yup, when you get Love Bugs/ Bugs on your windshield.... Pull over, Spray the Windshield with Spray Way Foam Window Cleaner, let it sit/ let it soak for a minute.... and then scrap a way with your terrific Skóda scraper that you had stashed behind the fuel door.

For me no more using a single edge razor blade in the middle of the day/night to scrap off those frigging Love Bugs/Bugs..


For the record, no I am not Polish... and am not related to the fellow that is offering this goodie...

What if you don't have a fuel door?
@txj2go

I have to take a looksee next time I am around a JL without a fuel door.

I think.... again, I think.. that this offering will fit for / work with a JL without a fuel door.

You'd place the green part of the scraper facing down in the holder, so you would not see/have the green end of the scrapper standing out like a sore thumb so to speak.

Next time I get around a JL without a fuel door I will eyeball and let you know.

Well, one of my little mods / hacks, is the plastic hook I installed on the inside of my JL's fuel door.

Thanks to the hook, no more gas cap lying on the painted surface.

Also, keeps the gas cap out of mud, snow or sleet on the side of the JL.

I have had the hook installed or months now and geeeeeeeeeeeeeez, it has worked out well.

It's just one of these trimmed down and applied to the fuel door:

You can read more about the hook and where to get it, here:

Ya know.... that little hook is still working out well.. even after 4 years+ use and well over 64,000 miles.

It has never come loose, does the job it was meant to do and geeeeeeeez, I sure do appreciate that hook.

Smart use of the hard top bolt holes.
