I like those wiper deicers. We get a lot of nights around here where it will dew a fair amount, then freeze. Just enough so you cant see out of the windows and freeze the wipers to the wind shield.
Be advised they recommend that you trim the length down to no less than 68 inches on those heater, the wind shield in my suburban is only about 60 inches, so the voltage will need to be reduced with a resistor.
I have seen anti icing systems malfunction and crack glass and we don't want that, then you have to replace the glass and the deicer.
I am going to put an electric vacuum pump in there eventually.
I have a diesel engine to put in this suburban.

I have had this wind shield washer fluid hear through 1 ice storm so far and it was totally worth it.
Only problem is the washer fluid still freezes up in the tip of the nozzle once the alcohol evaporates out. But adding some polypropylene "RV water line anti freeze" should fix that.
