Windshield Wipers clogged with ice

I was having this problem last winter as well. My truck just had the oldschool "standard" type of wiper blades. I just replaced them with some frameless/beam style wiper blades and haven't had a problem since. They are more expensive, about $20/each or $40/pair, but well worth it.

 

Has anyone tried the Heated Wiper Blades ??

 

I bought an oil pan preheater and wrapped it around the washer tank.

I just used the good washer fluid good to like -30 below…

 

I wish we had that stuff down here.

 

As long as you can have a way to keep it plugged in while driving

 

Yeah, I gave a bottle of my -30 to a driver from California the other day, all he had was water in his tank and it kept icing over.

 

Used to be able to find prestone anywhere. Been a long time since it's been around.

There's plenty of other stuff though. Found at parts stores and Walmart, etc.

Prestone isn't the only game in town.

 

I plugged it into the extension cord coming off my inverter, the same one that my Christmas lights were plugged into .

 

That's an interesting idea
