Or attach a Bernzomatic torch to the wiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted February 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2019 There are wipers made especially for ice and snow but they aren't heated. I have seen devices that heat the windshield washer fluid, but putting hot water on cold glass seems risky to me. Have you changed your cabin air filter in the last 15K miles? A clogged filter might restrict the defroster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, maybe it doesn't, but I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapr ★ Posted February 8, 2019 Share #31 Posted February 8, 2019 I don't think they ID. Maybe go to the old folks home & lift a wallet just ask for a Senior coffee. At the MCD by the office there at at least 10 Seniors all drinking Senior coffee. Some go get refills. I think refills are free, but not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
