Generally an iced windscreen can be rectified with a spray bottle of Methylated spirits (Metho).
It generally won't affect paint work or windscreen rubbers. A quick spray melts the ice and the screen stays clear for some time, till my old Ford warms up enough to run the windscreen demister.
Methylated spirits could be detrimental to certain auto paints, I don't know but my 30 year old Falcon is fine with it. I keep a bottle in the car through winter where I live.
