If you have enough time to do so, you can run your car for about 15 or so minutes with the heat on full blast. It will warm the roof up enough to loosen up the ice so that you should be able to fully dislodge it.

I ran it with remote start this morning for 20 minutes and it still wouldn't budge when trying to do it by hand. I accidentally found out that hitting the gas at a stop sign will do the trick though.

Those of us who have lived here forever know this. I did 25 minutes this morning at 5 am. Didn’t make a dent.

I also did remote start for over 15min. Just didn’t get warm enough.
