Ice storm battle test.
There is between 1 and 2 mm of ice on the wind shield in this thermal graph.
In the control picture you see the windshield wipers up and the wind shield a cool 26'F.


Then in the second flir image the wind shield washer only warmed the glass to about 40'F, making the ice gone.
No cracked wind shield and I got a port hole much bigger and much quicker than I expected.
