Once, in the dead of winter, I was brushing all the snow off my Jeep. It's a soft top so the windows are vinyl. Being vinyl they are flexible so I decided to tap the window with the brush expecting all the snow would just fall off. I gave it a whack and instead of the snow falling off, the brush went straight through the window taking a nice sized chunk of the frozen-stiff vinyl with it.
