How could these peasants not give me my heated wipers? What an outrage. I will not stand for this bologna. ?

The FJ Cruiser did the exact same thing. The flat windshields don't allow the defroster to heat the glass.I have a ā18 JLUR and no matter how high the defroster is on, the ice doesnāt go away. I was in a bad ice storm last winter and I had to stop and pull ice chunks off the wipers and off the side of the windshield so that I could see. Itās by far the biggest flaw on the JL and Iām still surprised Jeep pretends like it isnāt an issue.
says the guy living in FL. I lived in FL for 15yrs and moved to CO 4yrs ago. Couldn't pay me to move back to FL. I ran seat heaters in my Jeep in FL too on the brisk early mornings. Let's see, I only had to reach out my window as far as I could twice this morning to break the ice off my wipers in my f150. Damn water melts and then just freezes to the wipers because they sit so low on the window and the defrost can't get to them.How could these peasants not give me my heated wipers? What an outrage.

My problem is not when the truck is parked, its when I'm driving and the water/snow is melting off the glass and collects at the front cowl and refreezes to the wipers.How to deal with snow:
1. When parking your vehicle when it's snowing, lift wipers off the windshield.
2. Don't use the wipers to clear off ice when thawing, ice is harder than rubber. Use the scraper and the HVAC.
3. Learn to direct hot air onto your winshield, remember that you need to run the AC while doing this (most new cars do it automatically)
4. Get the proper -40 degree washer fluid. The other weak shit will freeze in your bottle or freeze when it hits your windshield.
I was just kidding around. I thought it was pretty obvious. ?says the guy living in FL. I lived in FL for 15yrs and moved to CO 4yrs ago. Couldn't pay me to move back to FL.

Never had this problem with my Toyotas, F-150s, or Porsches.My problem is not when the truck is parked, its when I'm driving and the water/snow is melting off the glass and collects at the front cowl and refreezes to the wipers.
Remote start and defrost get me on the road, it's the driving that creates the issues because the wipers sit too low on the front cowl below the glass so the defrost is useless for melting the ice.
it's the 1 thing I can't stand about my '17 F150 during winters. My wrangler is fine and the wife's grand Cherokee is fine.Never had this problem with my Toyotas, F-150s, or Porsches.
Might be specific to a certain vehicle design?
Yup, had that feature show up one -20 degree morning.Ah, yes, the automatic winshield cracking feature.
