Snow clogging headlamps/headlights

[CrazyOldMan]

How about heated ‘rests’ for the windshield wipers so that they don’t ice over?

I cracked my windshield by turning the front defrost onto high fan and high heat- my go to move for keeping the wipers and the windshield ice free. SNAP- The air gets too hot frankly. My son noticed that, but I didn’t think that it would be hot enough to light off the windshield.

I think a lot of us suspect that the front vent and rapid temp changes are causing a crack right there on the lower edge center. The number of anecdotes of that exact same situation you describe just seems quite high. Mercedes has that Magic Vision Control option, which includes the heated reservoir, nozzles and blades - something like that would certainly also help for a winter option, if they didn’t want to do a heated windshield.

For a second, I thought that option was $99,000….

While we were talking about the windshield wipers, it drives me nuts that you use them for the windshield fluid option and it clears the screen and then like 20 seconds later does one more wipe just to make sure that the windshield gets streaked again instantly
