wipers keep icing up
i was offroading today during the storm we're having here in the carolinas and my wipers kept freezing solid and wouldn't flex to wipe the sleet/snow from thewind shield...i had to keep stopping and letting the defrost blow on the windshield then chip and break the ice off of them...is there anything i can do to prevent this?
thanks

mine did that last night while I was returning a movie haha, stopped on the way back and cleaned it off.. 4wd is awesome in the snow, I can accelerate like I do normally on dry pavement.
if mine kept it up I was gonna clean the hood off enough to let the wind shield spray come out... you can get some de-icer stuff to put in there, that might help

I guess I would just poke around the wiper fluid and see if there is anything strange. Just my .02

RainX De-Icer...the orange stuff...my windshield and windows were frozen this morning and my sprayers were iced over too...so I went and filled a squirt bottle with RainX and about a minute later I could use the sprayers and wipers were working great!
RAINX!!

be carful with those water bottles full of deicer, my friend was driving over a pass and had the deicer in a water bottle to deice and when he got home he forgot to empty the water bottle and left it in the car. when his wife went to drive the car the next day she grabbed the bottle thinking it was a sports drink and took a gulp and was in the hospital for 3 days! so just be carful!
