It would just be cheaper to put a hydrophobic coating on there so that the ice wouldn't stick as easily. Truckers have used WD40 for decades on exposed parts they don't want caked with ice.

I learned to do that on my car doors from a ski bum in high school! They would freeze shut and this dude told me to shoot the weather strip with wd40 and they won't freeze. Miracle!
