Windshield washer fluid

yes, this is what i do. i also make up my own spray bottle using 2 parts alcohol and one part water, to clean all my mirrors, and windows. . alcohol is cheap, and safe.

 

A spray bottle with winter washer fluid and one of these to clean mirrors, windows and lights.

 

Oh. I figured they required some sort of propriety arm so the washer nozzle could operate around a larger blade.

You're doing it all wrong. I'm paid to drive. I hired a full time house keeper. She deals with all those mundane details and tedious work.



She keeps asking for a different winter time uniform but I don't have room for all that extra laundry.

 

Regular normal of fashioned wiper blade, made by Anco... I like your idea better, the "house keeper". Vavava VOOM!

 

Volvo trucks has option for heated windshields. They put 3 heating strips around windshields.

 

You aint going anywhere with that heater, so you do not have to worry about Ice built up. I used to put my wipers on the fast setting and it would build up then fling itself off, sometimes onto someone passing and they think you throwing something.

 

Land Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes and Mitsubishi already have heated windshields (the heating element is imbedded in the glass) on some cars, either as standard or optional. Land Rover has done this for at least 15 or 20 yrs. Mercedes and a couple of others have heated washer bottles. You can purchase a washer heater, that attaches inline to the washer hose, I bought one for my pickup, just never been able to find a decent place to install it. Recently looked a brochure on Scania and Volvo European trucks, heated washer fluid is standard on some models.

 

I can understand heating the contents of a reservoir but how do you deal with the water in the 6 feet of supply tubing and at the nozzle that is completely exposed to the cold? I.e. What good does it do to heat that water if it can't get past the frozen stuff in the lines?

 

The best is to buy a quality product that has a lower freezing point and flush out all the cheap stuff so you have the good product completely, you know some places will sell a product that is only good for summer just to get rid of it.
