Those Crazy Canucks and Their Wacky Wipers

[RH77]

GM's heated windshield wiper fluid was a nice torch -- I, mean touch... nice touch.

I wonder if anybody has tried putting Coke in their reservoir...

Ive always had to reach out and snap the wipers every now and then while going down the road in the winter. My folks always did it too. Just part of living up north.

I run Anco winter blades year round on all my vehicles, so did my folks. I just like them better, and they dont freeze up as bad. Only problem is on my cars, I have to cut down the stop blocks at the base of the windshield, because the blades are taller and theyll form indents in the middle of the blade and leave an unwiped arc. Click and clack said running winter blades year round will burn up your wiper motor. Hundreds of thousands of miles and Ive never had a wiper motor go bad.

I'll be sure to add one extra umbrella to my boat drink for every second it took me to figure out what this thread was about

Actually that look on my face is because I can't figure out why you guys haven't mooved south.

So I guess complaining about poor FE due to temps hitting the mid 60's for a couple of days is futile in this thread .. LOL

Yeah, no kidding. My week was ruined by unexpected rain. That hasn't happened since... well, last winter. Some mornings my windows are fogged up and I have to wipe them.
